Fete Superpower Maintaining a good sense of humour when things get dull or stressful.
Favourite Fete Moment 7am and 7pm. 7am is looking across the empty Rec with an expectation of what’s to come. Then again at 7pm(and usually shattered), at the same empty Rec, knowing that we’ve all worked as hard as we could to make a great day out for as many people as possible.
What I do when not at Fete meetings Sat at a PC all day, most days. Software Quality Control and Testing mostly, implementing and configuring client e-learning systems.

Fete worse than death Flip flops – can’t stand ‘em (sorry Nick). It just sounds like an applause of sticky feet when people slop past you.
