Adventure Camp

The WET AND WILD ADVENTURE CAMP is only a few weeks away....with weather like this there is no better place to be other than at the beach or outdoors....finally summer has arrived, right in time for the school holidays - yeahy!!

There are still places left for the Adventure Camp, if we do not fill all the required places for the week, we will be looking at options to still run but for a shorter length of time (and therefore less money) so if you are interested please do contact me. We can be a little bit flexible on the age. It will be a truly awesome and memorable week!

Schools out for summer!!

One week to go....the count down is on for the school holidays (for those that have not broken up already).

A week today....schools across the UK will be closing the class room doors for a whole 6 weeks or more!




So hopefully young people are going to get out and about this summer, despite all the rain and mud (we had great fun today playing in the mud and did you know it was international mud day last week!!)

Over the summer holidays some people will be going on holidays, camping, abroad or to family. Some people will be hanging about home, some parents have to work and some lucky children will be coming to the woods!!

We have a wicked programme of events for the summer holidays, from family days, to adventures for the teens to days in the woods for young people!

There is no need to be stuck inside this summer, we have loads to do. Just take a look at the summer programme of alluring adventures, see what takes your fancy and book you and your friends in. You will not regret it....a summer filled with lashings of laughs (and possibly ginger beer for those of you that love famous five!)

Only 7 more sleeps till the holiday start....what you waiting for!!

TALK BY DEBRA (Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association)

If anyone is interested in attending a talk by DEBRA next week, all are welcome. By attending you will be helping to raise awareness of this terrible condition. Please support if you can by coming along.  

TALK BY DEBRA

(Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association)

CHURCH HOUSE, CROWCOMBE

WEDNESDAY 11^TH JULY 2012

8.00pm

Can you imagine what it would be like to live with third degree burns everyday of your life? That is what it is like for Sohana Collins who suffers from a rare genetic skin condition, recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). The condition causes the skin to blister and shear at the slightest friction, or even spontaneously, causing lifelong disability and pain. At present there is no cure.

Crowcombe WI are raising awareness of Epidermolysis bullosa by inviting DEBRA, the only National charity that supports individuals and families affected by this devastating condition, to speak on Wednesday July 11^th in Church House Crowcombe.

Please come and support this amazing charity which receives no government funding, relying on the generosity of the public to carry out its vital work, improving lives and giving hope.

This meeting is not just for WI members, it is for everyone. You are all very welcome to this open evening.
