Training Walk - September 2010

The link teachers are organising a training walk in the Dunkeld area to help prepare for our jungle-trek in Borneo. Our aim is to have all group members walk approximately 10 km carrying your own fully packed rucksack!

The only available dates for these walks are Saturday 4 September and Sunday 12 September 2010.

Unfortunately the Alton Towers trip coincides with one of these dates and there are 9 of us who are taking part in both trips. Having looked at the list for Alton Towers, everyone except Miss A, Ian and Mark are in group 2. Therefore, the best way to organise the training walk will be:

 Group 2 – Saturday 4 September
 Group 1 – Sunday 12 September

If anyone has any problem with the date they have been allocated, please see me asap.

More information about the training walk will be given at our next group meeting on Tuesday 29 June at 1.15 pm. Attendance is essential.

Follow-up from TD2

Can anyone who has not yet handed in a photocopy of your passport (details page), 2 passport photo's (with your name on the back) or the Parent/Guardian Consent Form (issued on TD2) please do so by Friday 25 June. If need be, you can scan and print a copy of your passport in room 132.

Thank you.
