Thursday brought another early start, and it was great this morning that 2 players came to the Oasis for our morning devotional time - and especially that they were from the pool team that I'd met with yesterday. As well as sharing in the devotional, they added topics to our prayer board and stayed for a coffee and a chat.
Contact with another team and their coach came when they used the metal staircase outside the Oasis for one of their fitness tests (it involved a piece of equipment that attaches with a magnet hence the need for something metal). This provided an opportunity for the players waiting in the queue for their turn to see into the Oasis, and for me to ask questions of the coach about what they were doing whilst he was packing things up.
Other activities today included further casual conversations with several other players from the pool team I spent time with yesterday; a telephone conversation with another of the TLOs I'd rung yesterday; a visit to the area surrounding the 2 match pitches, which included conversations with several people setting things up and getting the ground ready for the first match day tomorrow; and trying to 'design' various attractive but weatherproof ways of decorating the outside of our building - several of the 12 squads have started to decorate their buildings and so why should we miss out, especially as it also draws attention to our new location.
