Chessington World of Adventure Fun Day

As mentioned last 1/2 term, the Beavers have expressed an interest in having a Fun-Day at Chessington.
I am happy to organise this but need to find out (pretty soon) which dates are preferable to everyone.
The sooner I get numbers, the sooner I can try to book a group discount, (maximum price per child should be £16 entry), and organise the number of helpers required.

Dates possible are the week after family camp, or the week after that.
i.e. Sat 4th July, Sun 5th July, Sat 11th July, Sun 12th July.

Please let Eddie (Badger) know at the next meeting or email on eddiejdriver@gmail.com

1. Name of child
2. Like to attend (or not)
3. Dates s/he could/couldn't do
4. Do you already possess/will possess a Merlin/Chessington pass (that will keep costs even lower for you!) (young adventurer annual passes(12 month entry for under 12s) are £50
5. Can you assist with transport for other children there or back

Thanks, Eddie (Badger)
