Just thought I would say a quick hello from the TTRide Office that has a strange monday morning feel to it. It is now 2 weeks since I landed in back from sunny South Africa and I am now back in the UK routine... (different).
At the beginning of each year we start off with each TTRide team member's travel plans, who's going where, who running each trip (not the worst meeting to attend), one of the more boring priorities that always puts a dampener on the meeting is the question of who will be manning the the TTRide HQ in sometimes sunny London.
Having single handedly taken care of things in London for the past month Linley has just jetted off to SA to join trip one for their final 3 destinations. These locations make up the business end of the trip as they are focused on Rider working on final training and research towards their Surf Instructor and Surf Lifesaving qualifications.
Anyway, that's South Africa talk, and like you my updates come from the trip diary blogs which I check on a daily basis with fingers crossed that our trip leaders have had time to upload the latest news. March is my month to take care of everything back here and without wanting to sound too dramatic things are already piling up.
Next weekend we are Sponsoring the British University Student Surf Nationals on Fistral Beach. Having enjoyed competing in the event throughout my 3 years at Newcastle Uni I am so pleased to be going back down. The Student Nationals is Europe's largest surfing event and we are extremely proud to be a sponsor.
The rest of March is all about travelling the length of Britain on a regular basis attending promotional events in the TTRide Truck. For me it is not just about showcasing what we offer to those looking to join us on one of our adventures, it is also about meeting all the representatives from all kinds of different travel organisations. What is so nice is that whilst it is competitive there is still a good vibe amongst all the companies because almost without exception, everyone truely believes in what they offer and from a potential traveller's point of view there is an incredible choice when it comes to deciding what to do with precious time out.
2008 is already shaping up to be an excting year for us with all our trips reaching max capacity, and our current SA adventures going better than we could have ever hope for mainly due to fantastic leaders and most importantly a fantastic group.
From a development point of view we are continuing to grow in a way that concentrates itself about the recruitment of exceptional TTRide staff to manage key areas of Ticket to Ride and recruit the right the kind of people to join us on the kind of adventures that make a monday all alone in TTRide HQ a little easier to manage.
