June 23 Summer PartyDon’t forget it’s the summer party this weekend – and it’s a ‘pirate’ theme! Meet at Greno HQ at 6pm, there’s a band, disco, party games and a BBQ. We’ll be finished by 10 (hopefully). There’ll be prizes for the best outfit – and yes I am expecting lots of Johnny Depp look alikes…
June 04 Austria Next year!We’re just starting our planning for next year’s camp – and we’re thinking about going to Austria. The dates we’re looking at are Sunday 2nd to Wednesday 12th August 2009. We’ll be stopping in Indoor Accommodation at a Scout Campsite just outside Salzburg. The camp is located next to a warm swimming lake, 1.5 km from the nearest village and 20km from Salzburg itself.
Activities planned include:
We hope to be meeting lots of Scouts from other countries, and will be taking part in the ‘Environment’ and ‘Friendship’ badges. We’ll be doing a lot of hiking and cycling in the immediate vicinity of the campsite, visiting local attractions such as lakes, swimming pools and villages.
This time we intend to fly instead of using a coach; after last year can you blame us? We’re going for 10 nights instead of the usual 6 nights plus 3 days on a coach, so we reckon we’re getting good value for money. The fully inclusive cost will be somewhere in the region of £550-£650; this depends on airfare costs. We will probably travel down to Stansted and fly directly to Salzburg; at the moment these are the cheapest fares - over £120 less than flying from Manchester even allowing for a coach hire to and from the airport. If airfares rise dramacticly in the next few months we do have the option of travelling by coach...
