Message from the DC
Thank you campers for my voucher to ‘Springs’ I am looking forward to spending an afternoon there having a massage. I think camp was great fun. I enjoyed watching you all having your instruction and also having fun, whether it was going down to the river or doing mounted games.
Thank you to all parents & friends that came to help set up, do duties during camp and also those who came to support the fund raising day. I believe that over £800 was raised. Quite an achievement so well done campers.
Enjoy the rest of your summer holidays.

Are there are any parents who would like to be involved! Please let her know if you have anyone who could help – Jenny@pcuk.org.
Thanks. Jenny
