o my feet o my feet o my feet!

Spread the word!

A fund-raising sponsored walk has been organised for Saturday 12th April - the last Saturday of the holidays! That means we have only 2 weeks to get sponsors ... what are you waiting for??

There will be a prize for the two people with the largest number of sponsors - (N.B. not the most money sponsored ... we are counting names not pounds! )

The June Fordell Firs Camp - Leadership Training and Teambuilding - will cost £35 to £40 pounds if you want to do fun stuff to the max! That means you need to get lots of sponsors. Sponsor forms available from Iain, in person or by e-mail.

If you want me to e-mail you a form, mail me : iain.mathie@gmail.com

Camp Planning

Well done everyone for making a start on this exciting project!

Here are your ideas for the programme:

Quad biking, archery, rock climbing / abseiling, low ropes course, bungee trampoline, assault course / challenge course, grass sledging, wigwams, crate climbing, team building, manhunt / night walk, wide games, orienteering, mountain biking, BBQ, caving, dry slope skiing, 10-pin bowling.


You also came up with some important ideas for the planning process:

Fund raising: sponsored cycle / swim; bag-packing; selling on e-bay;

Health & Safety: Andy can train us in the "Heart Start" First Aid course. Also need to think about hand hygeine, especially if preparing food.

Food: catering / cooking (should we provide food and cook for ourselves (backwoods cooking), or purchase food as a group and bring a cook??)

Accommodation: where will we sleep? Tents - where from? / cost? .... or the bunk house? How to arrange groups/ tents for sleeping?


Facilities: toilets, drying room, toilet paper!!!

Equipment: KIT LIST - what should we each bring for ourselves, and what should be provided to share? ... cooking utensils, camping gear, midge repellant, etc

RECCY - we need to send a team to scout out the site and report back. Also, visiting the website is a good idea - FORDELL FIRS

Duties / Teams: how should this be organised?

Well done everyone! :) This is a good start. I can't wait for this! Any more ideas? ... ... Try a post.
