Venue Specific Training: The Next Stage!

Sunday 29th June 2014 – Venue Specific Training! The Next Stage ... 

On Saturday 28^th June I left Birmingham and travelled to Glasgow. I was staying at a Premier Inn in the city centre.After a good nights sleep I left my hotel at 8.00am. I walked to the station to catch a train to Mount Florida. Then after a little walk I arrived at the Hampden Park (the home of the Scotland National Team). 

First up we had a general presentation about our venue telling us about what to do when we arrived, where different parts of the venue would be, about transport and etc! Providing us a overall of Hampden Park, the athletics venue!

After a bit we were taken on a tour of venue! Showing us where the workforce break area was, how to get into the venue and down onto the track going the way the athletes would go and much more! Then we went and met our manager who shown us the room we would be working in and some other places! And he answered all our questions!

 
It was a good training session, ever if the venue will look so much different when we come back for games time (Had to do venue specific training early because of Diamond League Meeting at Hampden Park). I now can't wait to get going!

After a journey back to the city centre, it was time to go back home. So I took a bus back to the airport and then a plane back to Birmingham! 

That's all my training completed, just one more trip to pick up my uniform and then it will be games times!!!!
