We are rapidly approaching the awards evening at the Ellora Restaurant next Tuesday and need to confirm numbers and food orders.

Parents and other family members are welcome to join us but we really need to know numbers and orders as soon as possible. Thank you to all that have replied so far – we are missing about two thirds of replies at the moment though. Read more

We’ve had to change our plans a little for the Bigs tomorrow.

We were planning on being at Arden school to get some work done on eDofE and rehearsals for the presentations next week, but…..Arden have decided that we can’t use their IT facilities so we are having to go to Tudor Grange Academy. Read more

We have been asked to create a movie for presentation about Challenge Adventure Group as part of the introduction to the nominated charities of Dorridge Fun Run 2013.

Slight problem: we don’t have one! Read more

A reminder for you that on December 5th we are having an information evening for all new and current D of E participants and parents.

If anyone has a seat spare on the way to Creation tomorrow can you please let us know? We have a member who needs to get there but doesn’t need a lift back.

Thanks!!

Well done everyone on your creations this week. We were very impressed with your efforts and team work and even though there were only team winners for team work and presentation, we thought everyone got stuck in and did a great job of organizing their teams to get the job done. Congratulations. Read more

We are going to be outside tonight, but as we said last week, it will be very wet underfoot and there is light rain as well.

It isn’t cold, but you need to wear waterproofs and wellies or boots. A torch will be a good plan as well.

See you later!

Well done to every one for working hard and getting the task done on Tuesday.

It wasn’t about doing the most beautiful lashings or the best knots, but about everyone mucking in to get the task done. The team leaders learned a little about their teams and their task of leading their teams, the team members all kept working on their task until it was done. Well done, it all got done in what seemed like no time at all!
