With only two weeks to go until the expedition begins in ernest, we are all incredibly excited and would like to thank all of our sponsors and supporters. We are also currently in the process of writing pre-expedition reports for both the school and the ICES, we sincerely hope that both of these reports will be published online if not in print. We will of course share any links or make you all aware of where you can view these reports.

Sponsorship Update #6
ceca the civil engineering contractors association, have recently been in contact and pledged financial support for the expedition, even at this late stage this is extremely welcome, and as such we are incredibly grateful for the generous contribution agreed. As well as this the final payment for our accommodation was processed today meaning that the two major costs of the expedition have been accounted for. All that remains is that we sort domestic travel in the UK and the BVI then get down to work. Huge thanks to everyone at Ceca! You can visit their website and find out more about the association by following the link at the bottom of this page.

Leica Boss... Sponsorship Update #5
Larissa and I just met with Simon Mears from Leica Geosystems to discuss the equipment loan for the expedition, we are pleased to report that they have agreed to loan us the required GNSS receivers and imaging total station. This is no small contribution to receive and we are incredibly grateful to Simon and the rest of the staff at Leica.
On top of this it was also agreed that Leica would contribute some financial funding for the expedition! This was unexpected and we are again hugely thankful for the contribution, it will go a long way!
Planes, Trains, Automobiles and Sponsorship Update #4
We've booked flights, that's it! The expedition is off the ground, excuse the pun. All that is left to do is organise and book domestic travel in both the UK and the BVI, and pay off the accommodation balance.
Two of the team will be meeting with Leica this afternoon to hopefully secure the loan of the equipment for the expedition. If this is successful then we will be much closer to setting off and beginning the expedition, once again this is very exciting and a huge thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters thus far!
Speaking of sponsorship, ICES (Institute of Chartered Engineering Surveyors) have confirmed their support for the expedition at their finance committee meeting at the end of last week. These funds will prove vital in the final pieces of organisation for the expedition. Huge thanks to everyone at ICES!

Exams, Accommodation and Important Meetings...
We've just put down the deposit on our accommodation on the island! This is a very exciting time for all of us and a welcome break from the exam stress we've all been under. We'd like to thank all our sponsors and in particular Jamie Johnson at the Anegada Beach Club for supporting us and offering a substantial discount on the total cost of accommodation.
We hope to be booking flights and beginning to make final arrangements for the exepedition as soon as the exams are over. The team will also be meeting with a representative from Leica in the near future to disucss the loan of equipment for the expedition. We're very excited by all of this! We'll keep the blog updated with any more progress made!
