Just wanted to get some dates written down of various things so people can express interest if they want to:
July 4th – 11th camping at Shell Island. you can’t book and if the weather was to be dreadful we might change our minds 😉
We’re planning to take in CAT while we’re there but I don’t think there’ll be enough of us to make a group booking although I will contact them in advance to check if we can get better prices or any additional stuff.
5th- 12th (ish – that’s Saturday to Saturday, might not do the first weekend and start from the Monday instead) at http://www.sustainability-centre.org/index.html and will do a day trip to Butser during that week sometime.
30th November – 4th December Helmsley for Christmas Camp. I’ve contacted YHA today to check price and availability so will post that up as soon as I know. I think we’re edging towards already full on that from initial interest but will need 25% deposits asap once I know prices so we can get it booked. LovelyEm has said she’ll coordinate monies again.
I’m debating parties for D and S again after a break last year, except both of their birthdays fall at the weekend end of a camp (D’s September and S’s December so wondering about small celebrations at camp and maybe a bigger party inbetween – Halloween maybe?
I’m so hoping weather for Shell Island proves okay. we can do all those dates 4-11th.
From HEAS concession booklet: “with HEAS card (I’m guessing any HE evidence?), both adults and children get the school pupil rate . . . for groups, 1 free adult for every 6 children under 11, . . . family tickets also available for large families. day visit packs can be downloaded from website”
Sustainability is Sept isnt it – and yes to us for that (with hoping M can teleconference or go in to Gatwick as last year if needs be). weekends are free so far either side but I can’t remember what it was stopping us getting there with you and Em last year.
Def yes to Helmsley for C and me. Will happily pay Em in full once I know how much.
Lovely catching up with you.
xx

yes sorry September for Sustainability.
I looked at education packs for CAT, worksheety stuff mostly but worth printing out to look at in advance of trip. Will contact them in advance and see what I can get off price.

HEAS leaflet says £4.05 per person was school rate, but the school rate may have changed since the concession list printed in Feb 2009. ie in April often price changes at places.

Sustainability possibly though need to find out about Boo’s ballet.
Would love to do shell island but think I might be rather full in July with HESFES and dance exams- can I let you know another time?
