Do we have talent - yes, yes we do!

Judging by the blog messages it sounds like you guys were just as excited as we were by our attempt to discover the hidden talents of 09J - and discover we did.From Matt and Amy's classic tango to Tor playing the spoons, to Baz and Pik's ventriloquist act and Mark's impression of Simon Cowell, what was very clear is that we have an incredibly talented bunch of people here in India.

The judges headed by our very special guest The King of India (aka Adam from head office) deliberated for what seemed like hours, before finally deciding on Charlie 2 and their Indian themed epic which in true Bollywood style covered perhaps ten different genres and just as many themes. Alain was the true star playing his role perfectly supported by Jamie Green in his debut role as a goat.

In close second was Charlie 1 with the most impressive medley of song and dance that either myself or Mark has seen in any Raleigh expedition.










The night capped another fantastic changeover for 09J, as frantic and busy as they are they are certainly my favourite time here as it chance for us to hear the most incredible stories which each and every person has to share.

But before you know it they have headed out again and even as I write this I am fielding SITREPS from each of the teams as they settle into their new group and new project.  We will of course be updating you on their progress and letting you know as often as we possibly can about their adventures.  Until then our very best wishes from everyone on 09J.
