Girls’ Brigade Camp June 2011
This session we will be visiting Whitaugh Park, Newcastleton in the Scottish Borders for a fun filled weekend of activities from Friday 24th June to Sunday 26th June 2011. We have visited the park on numerous occasions and girls and officers alike have really enjoyed the experiences and activities that are on offer.
All girls who will be in Primary Four upwards in August 2011 are welcome to attend where they will take part in two instructor led activities, go swimming in a private pool with two fully qualified lifeguards, take part in group challenges, learn new skills and most importantly have a brilliant time!
The final cost is yet to be confirmed but will be in the region of £75 to £80. This covers two nights accommodation, all meals, two instructor led activities, a swim, entertainment and insurance. Transport is not included in this cost at present as we aim with the help of parents and friends of our company to raise enough money to cover the cost of the coach.
Numbers are limited to 38 people and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If you wish your child to attend a non refundable deposit of £10 is payable no later than September 7th 2010.
Pantomime Tuesday December 14th 2010
50 places have been booked for Motherwell Civic Centre’s production of Peter Pan on Tuesday 14th December 2010. The final cost will be intimated in due course as it is dependent on the cost of the coach but is expected to be in the region of £15. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. If you wish to reserve a place for your child a non refundable deposit of £5 should be paid by Tuesday 7th September 2010.
Fees
2nd Hamilton Girls’ Brigade is a non profit organisation and we rely on annual fees paid by each girl in order to survive. This fee goes towards paying an annual fee per child to Girls’ Brigade Scotland, purchases end of year awards and trophies and with funds raised throughout the year goes towards providing essential equipment and exciting and interesting activities and events.
This year Girls’ Brigade Scotland has increased the amount that we pay them for each child’s registration, however, we have taken the decision to freeze ours at £20 per session.
Fees can be paid as one lump sum of £40 or in two instalments of £20 to be paid by September 14th 2010 and January 25th 2011. As in previous years discounts are available to families with one than one daughter in attendance. The cost will be £30 for two children, £40 for three.
If anyone has any difficulty with the cost please speak to Captain Susan McLean as soon as possible.
All sections returned back on Tuesday with almost 40 girls coming along and 4 new girls, plenty room for lots more. Start spreading the word!
