Shack Attack - Update


Well Shack Attack is nearly here and the weather is looking very promising!  Please come along to the fields of Long Meadow house in Dark Lane any time after 3pm on Saturday.  Build a shack and sleep in it overnight or just come along to enjoy the merriment, BBQ and bonfire. 

Shacks
Please bring along any scavenged materials you can find at home, tarpaulins, old doors, ropes, pipes etc.  Then attempt to build a shelter to sleep in overnight.  You are welcome to pitch a tent for backup or for the softies in your party!  Please take all materials home with you the next day.

Unfair Funfair
Come along and try out our Unfair Funfair including a Blind Hoola Hoop, Tin Can Alley and Origami Challenge.  All activities are designed to raise awareness of unfair practices around the world that are contributing to world poverty.  There will also be a team water challenge involving buckets and drainpipes.  Expect to get wet!

Wanted
If you can bake some small cakes for the cake stall or bring along a salad, please let Sharon@cloverdale.biz know.  All the other BBQ food will be available to buy at cost price.

Small Print
Adults are responsible for their children at all times, especially around the bonfire.  Please take home any shack materials and rubbish.

Cars
If you would like to bring materials down by car, please can you park in the corner near the gate and not drive further in to the field.  We do not want any free range children run over and your car will be in danger of getting stuck in a rut.  Thank you.
