France/Belgium Trip June 2016

The ballot for the Trenches Trip, June 2016, has taken place. If your name was one of those unlucky to be drawn you should have received a letter from Mr Reid by the end of the day on Thursday 18th November informing you of the result. The staff involved are very sorry that it had to come to this, but we are unable to source a bus large enough to accommodate all those wishing to participate.

If those students receiving the letter wish to be put on a reserve list please let me, Mr Reid, know.

All deposits will be refunded by cheque. Please inform me or someone at reception as to whom the cheque should be made out to.

For all the rest of the students who have paid deposits, but did not receive a letter, you will be going on the trip. If you’re not too sure about all this then come and see me.

Mr J Reid
