Programme
Alton Towers
15/04/09 22:00
(Apologies that
this is posted somewhat late - we’re having website
update issues...)
Details for tomorrow’s Years 11 - 13 trip to Alton Towers. We’re meeting at HQ at 9:30, and you’ll need some money for entrance (see below), Drill Top, money for some grub. It’s looking like it might be damp in places other than the log flume as well, so a coat may be useful...
In terms of entrance fees - we’ve got a limited number of two-for-one vouchers, so will bring those. It’ll be first-come-first served for these, but they do bring the price down to £18 each (without them the price is, unsurprisingly, £36...). Do bring along any vouchers that you have - as these reduce the price below any Group price we could get.
See you tomorrow!

Programme for TWO Weeks!
26/03/09 06:30
We’re all at HQ tonight
at normal time WITH UNIFORM (please - it will also
avoid the feedback that some of you received a couple
of weeks ago...). The programme’s going to be the
“Krypton Factor” - you need bring nothing except a
newspaper... (local rag’s fine). All will be
revealed...
And next week (such organisation!), we’re having a Wide Game, ‘cause the last one went so well. Only this time we’re meeting at the Red Lion Pub. in Earlswood at 7:30pm, arriving back there for 10pm. Uniform’s not required, but stuff for running around woods in will be. And a torch, too!

Tonight's Programme
12/03/09 06:00
We’re at HQ tonight, at
normal time for the main bit of the Programme (but
see the note above for details of tonight’s DofE
drop-in). You’ll need uniform, and we’re running a
Trading Post.
We’re also planning to go to the Circus next Thursday instead of Ice Skating - let us have a Comment as to whether you think that this is a good idea or not, or if we should offer both?
You’ll need uniform. And PLEASE bring back compasses and stuff, ‘cause the Chase Walk people really will need them....

Closing the Stable Door After the Horse has Long Bolted
26/02/09 09:00
If you’ve ever wanted
to see the meaning of the phrase Shutting the Stable
Door after the Horse has Bolted incarnate - tonight’s
your chance; yup, we’re running the first tranche of
the Self Defence course that we thought might be
useful for people for some reason...
As well as this, we’ll also be giving a (short!) Presentation of the Duke of Edinburgh Award work we’ve been doing behind the scenes with the Scout Association, signing up new people and signing off some of the existing participants, and there will be an opportunity to take part in ShroveTuesday Thursday pancakes.
They’ll also be details of the Years 9 & 10 Monopoly Run in London, more details for the Chase Walk, information about the Summer Camp on Guernsey, and breaking news about a possible climbing course for Year 13s in March. We’re also going to order the next lot of Explorer Drill Tops, so let us know tonight if you don’t have one.
It really is the place where it’s all happening tonight! Normal time - WITH UNIFORM...
(Oh - and apologies. There was a bit of a technical hitch with the Twitter feed, so the details didn’t get updated whilst we were away. Needless to say it was a fab. week and the snow conditions were great! And everyone returned intact...).

... Obviously didn’t go
according to plan. Apologies to everyone, and we’re
going to take time out to review what happened, and
what lessons we need to learn from it. I’ll be
writing out to everyone’s parents with an update over
the weekend, and there will be a parents’ meeting
next Thursday for anyone who wants to come up and
discuss.
What is apparent, though, is that just about all the lads who were attacked were attacked because they’d gone to the help of younger Explorers. That is awesome, and is something that you all should be extremely proud of. It reflects rather better on you than on the gits in the Park that did this.
If you do remember something, do give me a call and I’ll pass the information on to the Police.
Thanks,
Andy

Tonight's Programme...
05/02/09 17:15
... is on!
Normal time at HQ. For those that fancy going outside there will be an opportunity - however, we won’t force people as its possible that you’re all snowed out... We’ll also be doing some stuff indoors as well, as we don’t want you all to freeze!
(PS - ‘cause we’re nice, there’s no uniform required tonight - we recommend something warm might be useful!)
(PPS - skiing people - we forgot to mention that we’ll be traveling up in Drill Tops. But now you know...)
<= (PPPS - we’ve updated the Twitter feed that’s located somewhat to the left of here! This is now Intrepid’s own feed, rather than Andy’s - and is worth checking out, particularly when we’re away on camp, as it can be updated by text message, which is a bit easier to do from a field than updating the main website.)

A quick heads up. At
the time of writing this (Wednesday) it’s looking as
if tomorrow may be somewhat chaotic again with snow.
We’re not yet sure how difficult travel’s going to be
tomorrow evening, so we’ll update the website 6pm
tomorrow with a final yay or nay as to whether
Explorers is going ahead.
If it does go ahead, we’ll be at the HQ.

for a drink or something. And you’ll need to be
collected from there at 9:30pm.

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...)
