UWABC Nationals Day 3 - Pencils

What’s going on:

The UWABC/Wests clan is healthy with no gastro in sight!

Everyone is really bonding and working well together – each night we catch up at 8pm with the whole clan and plan the next day and go over how the day went for everyone.

Maia is busy studying for the Gamsat and we all wish her luck for her exam on Saturday.

Shout out to Tom Horton, Nick Wakeford and Joe Tamigi for doing a great job organising the big squad and driving cars! And to Tom for being the best coach ever and cycling down with everyone’s race and keeping the nerves controlled.

Thea Adamson (past UWABC member) came for a dinner and a sleepover on Tuesday night! Was awesome to catch up over sweet potato mash, chicken schnitzel and veggies.

New Names:

Max Montanari now ‘Slut drop’

Thea Adamson now ‘Gypsy’

Nick Wakeford now ‘Tricky Nicky’

Pascale Ketelaar now ‘Swirl’
