Here is a rough guide of what happened
at Carnival Tassie 2002.
| 20/01/02 | After a bit of a late
night last night most took the chance to sleep in except for a couple of
the unlucky ones that had early flights. The rest of the group had a
mainly quiet day which included lunch and a visit once again to the
waterhole and rock cliffs nearby WEC. Some took the daring jump into the
waters far below. Most of the team then flew out at about 6.30pm to head
back to Melbourne. Carnival this year has been one of the best of the last few years and was enjoyed well by most of the group. We look forward to Carnival 2002 in Melbourne in September / October. |

Morning finals made today an early start for all the
teams. After an early breakfast the team made their way to the stadium for
the finals starting at 9am. We had 5 out of our 8 teams in the possible 6
finals. Of this 5 we could only possibly win 4 as the U/18 were playing
each other. And win the 4 possible finals we did, with a great result for
all teams. Of the other 2 finals WA won the Mens A and SA the mens B.

| 18/01/02 | The weary started late
this morning as once again a sleep in was in order. Some got up and went
to a local pool as it was a nice day where along with some of the other states
we were able to use a waterslide for ourselves. Others had a relaxing
morning before we all made our own lunch to take to the park. For lunch we
headed off to a nearby park where the was a waterhole as park of the river
to swim in. Some went in but it was quite cool. Many just enjoyed the
relaxation time before we headed back for team time. Dave and Annie spoke
about how God has played a part in their lives. We then headed to the
courts for the games and once again had a mix of results. After the games
we headed back to WEC for plays of the day and we also watched a video as
part of this. We had pizza for supper and then headed off to bed before
the early finals in the morning.

Today was basically our first rest day in which
people could relax a bit more with no scheduled activities. Some used the
time to sleep in or play golf and a couple hired motorbikes for the day.
We had lunch at WEC and then people relaxed before we headed down to the
courts for the afternoon/evening games. The games were a more positive
result this evening with most teams winning. The exception was when we
played ourselves - Mens A. We had supper at the stadium this evening
before returning to WEC. Team time this evening consisted of a couple of
games and fun activities before the usual nominations for play of the day
and the Mae Ling trophy. At team time Carmen and Mark spoke about how they
came to accept God and what changes have occurred in their lives. And once
again in the wee hours of the morning it was time to retire.

| 16/01/02 | An all day tour had been
planned for all the states so we had an early morning wakeup for breakfast
before meeting at the stadium. We all boarded bigger bus's than our usual
bus's for the trip north to Beauty Point and Sea Horse World. This
'attraction' is where they breed Seahorse for Aquariums in Australia and
abroard. After our visit there we went on the bus's to Georgetown and
enjoying lunch there giving the local economy a small boost. We then moved
on to Low Head where we enjoyed the beach and the park for cricket,
football and throwing the vortex etc. Once again our bus journey continued
and arrived back to Launceston and WEC. The first games were not till
5.30pm so a short rest time was had before heading back to the stadium.
The games were once again a bit of a mixed bag with the girls continuing
to do well. After the games we returned to WEC for our team time for the
day. Jeff, Tim and Andrew gave their testimonies about how God has changed
their lives. We then had a quick suppper before going off to bed.

The day started off with a quick breakfast before we
all headed off for training. This was a light training session for most
with the soreness from the first games and just brushing up on the tactics
for the rest of the week. After training we headed back to WEC for our
first team time of the day. Tim spoke about encouragment as our theme for
today and we were led in a new courtside chant by our cheerleading coach
Clayton. A big serving of pasta was served for us all for lunch and
the we relaxed for the afternoon and some headed off for golf. Once again
the games started at 4.30pm so we all piled in the bus's and made the trip
to the stadium. The teams had a bit of a mixed night with 4 wins and 5
losses. After the games we went back to WEC and had team time which
involved reflecting on the day and how we'd been encouraged. A few also
reflected upon what Carnival mean to them and we had a brief supper before
goin to bed. Click here to see results of the Games Click here to see the Photos from the Day Click here to find out about Play of the Day |

aerobie. A BBQ lunch was provided for all the states to enjoy and from
there we went back to the Oasis to get our playing gear for the evening
games. The games started at 4.30pm and went through till 11pm. Steve spoke
half way through the evening to all teams. After the games there was a
brief supper before we had a brief team time at the Oasis before everone

A quiet start to the day today with a few of they
players going to morning church. This was followed up by a BBQ lunch back
at the 'Oasis' ( as it's been codenamed ) with the rest of the group.
There have also been a few more players who have flown in today, some
without luggage but not to worry. Some of the group went and played golf
while others went and saw 'Ocean Eleven' at the movies or had a relaxing
afternoon at WEC. The Opening Church service was in the evening and this
was a great service to start off the Carnival week. We all retired back to
WEC after supper. Many of the players have caught up on friendships from
previous years so let the games begin. |

| 12/01/02 |
A 'fun' day to start off with for many of the
players with flights being delayed, one by 3 hours, one by 1 hour and
another one being cancelled. Someone also missed their flight due to -
shall we say an error in judgement - we'll get the chaplain to pray for
him. Most of
the players flew in today with the rest tomorrow. The players are settling
in now to WEC and enjoying the upgrade of facilities from last year. |
