Free Camping In June 2011

Hi Explorers

We have been asked to help out at a summer fayre from the 17th to 19th Jun 2011, with things like marshaling, help put tents up etc. In return for your time the camping will be free and you will be provided with free lunch on the Saturday and free BBQ on the Saturday night. A charge of £5 will be levied for the rest of the meals for the weekend.

I need to know immediately so if you could let Chris or myself know asap if you can help please, you have our contact details.

Regards
Jim

First Mountain Bike Challenge

Today's event organised by our illustrious leader (aka Chris "the fed" Moore) went really well, everyone who participated reported much enjoyment and were looking forward to next year. I think however we had enough chocolate bars to Jack Moore happy for the rest of his adolescence and enough fruit for us to supply Morrison's for a month. Chris did a fantastic job of organising and executing the event, ensuring all competitors got to the end safely. Thanks to all who took part and a special thanks to Shaun and his lads, Ruth & Ross, Mr & Mrs Moore senior and Master Jack Moore. I am sure the event will be repeated next year (with a few tweaks). Congratulation Chris on a job well done.

Silverwood Crew

Hi All,
Reminder we are crewing at Silverwood from 19:00 this Friday until Sunday
afternoon
• I need all to attend if possible, we will be using the bunks in the
containers next to ours.
• We will have a variety of tasks to do which should be interesting
• I think £5 per head for food over the weekend will be sufficient
providing we have a good turn out
• If you want to bring a tent and camp that's fine
• George can organise a camp fire if you wish
• I will post a menu and consent forms tomorrow
• Any questions or suggestions you have my number
Big Jim
