Holiday outings

[alt_sinistra]

I’ve worked out the lists for the Newcastle and New London day trips: you should receive confirmation at lunch today one way or the other. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we coordinate staffing and other details.

We still have a few remaining spaces for CCF students for the Yorkshire Dales trip (8th April), and for both CCF and YPL students for the Cambridge visit (11th April). Please see me today if you are still interested. Confirmation notes about those trips will be out tomorrow.

You are reminded that your parents are responsible for getting you to the central meeting point in New London each day: specifics will be sent to them later this week, or they may confirm with Felix Green in the WEA office if they have other logistics questions. Basic expenses (including meals and any admission fees) will be covered by the programme, but you may wish to bring pocket money for extras. Promptness and exemplary behaviour are both expected and required.

I’m glad to take questions here. Otherwise, I’ll be in my office during my usual Monday hours after supper.

Thanks again, Professor, I think it's going to be ever so informative.

Oh, I wanted to tell you, Parvati and I wrote to our parents and they've given us permission to organise a trip to Camelot on the day the others will be there. You said that would be all right, right? It's sort of an early birthday party for us, we decided. So I guess we'll be seeing people there as well as in Cambridge and New London.

Mum also wanted me to say that she'd be happy to sponsor tea or lunch on one of the days, like maybe the day that the others are in Glastonbury or something.

Camelot is a public park - we certainly wouldn't dream of restricting who else might be there. We're just limiting the additional student coordination to a few specific activities for a variety of reasons.

As to your mother - that's a most generous offer, and I'll be in touch with her by owl.

Oh, I know it's a public place, Professor, it's just that Pav and I haven't been there since we were little and we thought it would be nift to go again, this time with all our mates, you know. And we've made several mates in the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang groups, which is good, isn't it, because that's what we're all supposed to be doing. But we wouldn't have planned it for the same day if there was supposed to be something private going on, or anything. That's all.

Anyway, Professor, I'm glad that we're able to go on a few of the events but I'm also glad it's not every day over the holidays. I think we all need a proper rest. I hope you're not going to get stuck helping take all of the others all over the country? Well, even if you are, I hope you get to spend some time on yourself, too, Miss.

The point of the Cup is to make friends, you're quite right.

And no - the YPL planning committee is sharing out the supervision when there are Hogwarts students involved. Gives all of us a chance to spend some time with you, and all of us a chance for a bit of a break as well.
