FW: Camp

From: benjamin.woodcock@live.co.uk

Hi Chris,

Just wanted to point out the actual times for the camp :)

On Saturday we will be arriving at Hesley for 6pm
We will then be staying all day Sunday
We will then be leaving on the Monday

I booked the site in accordance with the above on Monday this week (27th April). And like you mentioned we will have to walk to Asda for food. O and How long will it be before Chris W gets back from Cambridge? The equipment we will be requiring is as follows:

  • Stove(s)/Gas
  • Some form of mess tent, Gazebo like at District Camp last year perhaps?
  • Somewhere to store food
  • Portable table with chairs to eat food from

That's all i can think of really, so apart from that all's good :)

I have got the paperwork & read it through, I am leaving a copy @ Hesley for Rikki (the Warden).

I understand you are arriving Hesley Sat 2nd May 11am? (Not as I expected Fri 1st May) & leaving Sun 3rd May 1600hrs? What equipment do you need from the hut?

BenW please take a copy of the Event Passport with you, any problems/injuries phone Me, ChrisW or Jim.

You are walking down to Asda Chapeltown to buy your food

Please remember both the DC and myself get a report on your standards and behaviour after the camp.

Hope the weather is fine & you have a good time

Explorer Update

Many thanks to all who turned out for the St George’s day parade & service.

A reminder NO Explorer’ on Monday night 27.04.09, as both Chris’ are not available.

We have the Constitution signed up, Jim is preparing the Young Persons Protection Form & ChrisW is on with the end of year finance reports which will be sent in for the Equipment funding bid, next week. The Chris’ will be sorting out some equipment for the district camp also next week.

Unfortunately the District Executive have declined to help finance any tents for us before we raise some money ourselves as ‘we do not look after equipment’. Can anyone remember damaging tents when they were loaned to us?

Four Explorers have been invited to do a 15-minute presentation @ 7pm on Weds 13.05.09 on why our trip to the WW1 battlefields will benefit you and the wider community. No presentation = No trip!

District Camp 12th June – are we doing an assault course and evening time running an ‘American diner’? Who’s going?

July 2011 the North are hosting an event similar to the O2 arena 2007 event – anyone interested or suggestions?

Your camp to Hesley 02 to 04 May is on! I’ve got the paperwork so will let the DC etc know. Ben WOODCOCK will be in charge. As the event is so close you’ll have to use your own tents and I suggest buy the food from Asda Chapeltown – The happy campers are; BenW, Ian Mac, NathanL, ChrisW, Tamsin, BenM, DaleM, Lauren, NathanT, AdamB, IanU, AshM & AndyS – does anyone need to borrow any equipment?

5th September is the Rimmington Challenge. Bigger and harder than last year
