  1. OMG what an experience these children have had. I only wish I had been given the chance at their age to experience the many activities they have taken part in over the last week.

    A huge thanks to everyone involved in putting this amazing trip together. I know how much work goes on behind the scene to organise such a big trip and it really is appreciated.(What are you all going to do with yourselves now?.....you dont need to answer that!!) George will bring home with him so many memories which will be with him forever and I can't thank you enough for that.

    Hope you have managed to get everything back in the suitcase George. It was a bit of a tight fit to start with! Have a safe journey and can't wait to see you bright and early in the morning.

    Missing you loads

  13. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this such a fantastic experience for our youngsters. My two have had a brilliant time with memories to last them a lifetime. A special thank you to Simon Hobson (Crofton Oaks) and Andrew Watkins who gave up their time to take the boys. They also wanted to thank James (don't know his surname) for all the games of Monopoly! We are also grateful to Jeannie, who faithfully kept us up-to-date with all that was going on. Thank you all so much!

  15. Austria was great fun! I loved every moment of it and my most favourite bit was White Water Rafting on Monday. I want to have the whole experience again another year but maybe do a few other things and for longer!

    Thank you to all the leaders of 2nd Erith, for making me have a great time in Austria 2010.
    My favourite part was white water rafting and also enjoyed all the other activities.
    The trip was much better than I expected I made lots of new friends. It was a brilliant experience and I learnt a lot from this adventure.
    Also I would like to thank the drivers because they did a brilliant job driving us all the way to Austria.
    Thankyou to everybody and I can't wait till the next one.

A special thank you to GSL for ensuring Charlie has definitely mastered the art of bike riding :)Nice to see charlie did not lose his appetite whilst there... we cannot believe the size of the dessert he demolished.
