Laser QuestQuasar Elite

Right, we’ve sorted Thursday’s Programme - we’re meeting at Quasar Elite in Acock’s Green at 7:30pm on Thursday (unless your Nick B or Dan & Tom P, in which case just before 8pm if possible!). You’ll need £5 for the THREE games we’ve booked for you, and we suggest an additional £1 for a drink or something. And you’ll need to be collected from there at 9:30pm.

You’ll also need your Hi-vis jacket from the Night Hike, though probably best not to wear it in the arena - we just want them back, please (along with all the other stuff you guys used...).

We’ve got the following people down as going:

Matt A

Tonight's Programme

Oops. Apologies - forgot to update the website. EVERYONE’S at HQ tonight, normal time. We’ll be sorting stuff out, as well as the normal panoply of games etc...

You’ll need uniform / Drill Top - and also any of our stuff that you have at home, ‘cause we need it this weekend for the Night Hike!

Skiing!

Okay - you spoke, we listened. Now we need you to act...

As a result of the interest expressed in skiing / boarding on Thursday, we’re proposing the following. We’ll travel up to Aviemore Saturday 14 February, and then ski / board Sunday thru’ Wednesday. We’ll travel down to the Lake District Thursday, arriving back in Solihull on the Friday (20 February). Same as before, except that there’s no “day off” in the middle.

And the cost? IF people have been skiing or snowboarding before, AND they can demonstrate a level of competence, then they won’t need instruction - and the cost will be £260. For those that will need instruction, the cost will be an additional £100 on top of that. Apologies - it’s an expensive business - but the cost does include transport, accommodation (in a Youth Hostel), food, ski / board hire, four day lift passes, so this is as cheap as we can realistically make it. If you have your own skis / board, let Andy know, and we’ll see if can reduce the price further.

There’s already limited availability at Aviemore Hostel on the Saturday night, so we need to move quickly.
Consequently, those that want to go need to complete an on-line booking here by the start of Explorers on Thursday night. We’ll then be booking the accommodation Friday morning, so there won’t be any opportunities for late booking.

In terms of the cost, please do talk to Andy if you want to spread the cost, as we do appreciate that there’s a slight lack of notice here... As ever, any questions to andy@explorerscout.net.

Night Hike

If you haven’t yet, please complete the on-line booking for the Night Hike ASAP, as the organisers may find it useful to know the numbers going before they try and buy the food.

AND IF YOU’VE GOT ANY OF OUR EQUIPMENT AT HOME - COMPASSES, REFLECTIVE JACKETS, BIVVY BAGS, ETC -
PLEASE BRING THEM ALONG ON THURSDAY...

We're Back!

And we’re back! Hurrah! Welcome to 2009.

And Thursday’s Programme? We’re swimming / sorting the team for the County Swimming Gala. Do try and make it, even if you’re not going to the Gala, ‘cause we’ve got the Night Hike and Chase Walk to sort, amongst others...

See you at Stechford Cascades at 7pm with £3 and swimming stuff.

(PS - if you haven’t received a text and / or email from us about this it’s ‘cause we don’t have your mobile number / email address. Let us have them and we’ll include you in all the hot gossip...)
