Skiing 2009

13th Carlisle Scout Group,

Dear Parents,

Ski Training –and March 1st – 8th – 15th – 22nd.
On March 28th we intend to take the Scouts and oldest Cubs (sixers, Seconders and those in Year 5) to the Edinburgh dry ski slope at Hill-End for a days skiing. However, in order for this to be a success we have arranged four hour long ski lessons at Carlisle Ski Centre (based at Carlisle Cricket Club) before we go. These lessons will cost £20.00 and have been booked for four successive Sunday afternoons starting on1st March. The lessons will cover the basic skills needed to use the slopes safely and make sure that each child is aware of their own limitations.
The lessons are well paced and fun. We will be splitting the Cubs and Scouts into two groups (A & B). Group A will start at 1.45pm with the issue of equipment (boots and skis) and end shortly after 3.00pm when the equipment has been returned, Group B will start at 3:00pm with the issue of equipment (boots and skis) and end around 4.15pm when the equipment has been returned. All your child will need is warm long sleeved clothing and gloves to protect their hands.
If your child would like to take part then can you please complete the following permission form and return it to either Cubs or Scouts as soon as possible along with a cheque for £20.00.
Obviously you may have questions about this and if so please do not hesitate to contact any of the following Leaders.

Bruce Kirton (Group Scout Leader)
David Hodgkiss (Cub Scout Leader)
John Wylie (Scout Leader)
Kenny Boom (Chairman)
