8th April - Meeting 5!

We are so nearly there!
As everyone in the class didnt manage to raise enough to put half and half towards our fundraising and Justines charity, we have given other money of ours to the NSPCC, whilst Justine has helped us and matched the money we managed to raise we gave us a total of another £55.
Our next fundraising activity is the car wash which is coming up pretty quickly. The fundraising team are getting everything ready and have put down some rules including no jewelery to be worn!  They are making sure everyone has bucket, a shammy, shampoo and a sponge on the day to make sure everything goes smoothly. Steph Benson has put together an email to send to the head of centre who will hopefully forward it to all staff. This allows us to book in staff and then hopefully just grab the odd few people on the day that we may need. They will produce a booking form which will make it easier on the day to book other people in as well as make it easier to find everyones cars..


Luckily and thankfully we have finally found something to do on Thursday whilst we are in Prague! WOOOOO!
Megan found a traditional Czech food and drink festival! yummy... Everyone was very happy with the idea, along with it just costing £23 per person. In return of paying this money, everyone got 12 tollers! For these tollers, we get to spend them on food and drink at the festival! We reserved a big table in tent 2, to make sure we all managed to sit and eat together! We decided this would be a great idea for everyone to be together and do something a bit cultural for the day. We booked our arrival time for 14:00 and we can stay there up until midnight, depending what everyone wants to do!
As Justine was getting a bit annoyed with everyone paying back on time, I told her I would pay for it on my card whilst everyone just paid me back in cash. I couldn't do this over the internet, so I had to go into my bank and do a bank transfer for everyone.

During this meeting, we managed to finalise the itinerary which I wrote up on the computer, along with everyone looking and agreeing on the code of conduct which we will sign on our parents pre-departure meeting.

Prague Prague Pragueee!

I personally produced and put together the agreed itinerary for the 3days of Prague..
