Today's GG vaccination team comprised of Alfie, Vicki & John. Alfie & John were both on front of house duties with Alfie taking temperatures and John manning the car park.

The day had started off very wet and windy but luckily the rained had ceased by the time the patients started to arrive. The wind still persisted for the remainder of the morning but I think that helped volunteers on outside duties dry off quickly.

Vicki was tasked with with duties in the very noisy and windy marquee. Fortunately the marquee is now securely fasten to the ground after nearly being blown away in last weeks very high winds.

Vicki kept her patients entertained by asking lots of questions about what they would be getting up to in this afternoon. I believe the most popular answers were shopping and watching a movie.

A bit later Vicki spotted a snail making it's way from the back door towards the entrance. Still in questioning mode Vicki asked Sid The Snail it if it was here for it's vaccination. We believe the response was 'No comment' and it was swiftly moved out of harms way.

The target for today's clinic was about 160 vaccinations and although it seemed a little slow at times the numbers seemed to add up.
