first week back

Entertainment abound...
only really a skeleton idea of what was going to be happening this evening, so the fact it went off quite well, was a very good thing.
Started off with blindfold punch and judy, followed by a thinking/practical game with candles, mugs, string, gaffa tape and bits and pieces.
That was organised by Braddle, and it progressed excellently. Though I think that we need to make it a little more complex and more difficult- they were surprisingly quick at it.

After break we sat down and told them basically what was going to go on this term, camps and outs and things like that.
The First is to Alton towers- just for a weekend at the end of March.
There will be a camp on the second May Bank holiday- which will probably be at Youlbury, or maybe in Gloucester, and Summer camp is going to be- probably- at Hawkhirst waaaay up north.

A minor point about the May camp is that GCSEs and exams start around that time, so it might be a quiet one...

We are also looking at getting 100 nights collective expedition nights out of the Explorers, and the person with the most nights by the middle of the year will get a free Out- which we are planning to be at Milton Keynes snowdome.
