Hostel Weekend
January 31st, 2010
Jan 29/30/31
Hi all,
we are just back from our hostel weekend in Glendale lodge, we had a brilliant weekend. Hopefully some of the PL’s will post as well to tell you more about it.
We arrived down on Friday night, then on Saturday we went for a hike to the top of Prince Williams Seat, this was lots of fun although some people got very very wet and muddy.
Then on Sunday morning it snowed and we all had some fun in the snow.
All in all a good weekend was had!
Emma.

Christmas Sleepover
January 12th, 2010
19/20th December 2009
The Christmas Sleepover this year was fun. We did lots of different stuff like basket/net ball, unihoc and an obstacle course. My favourite game was balloon volleyball. We watched a movie and ate loads of sweets. We were supposed to have a campfire but then it rained and rained and rained some more. 🙁 It is ok though because we got to have one on Sunday morning and we all ate lots and lots of smores, although some people dropped their marshmallows in the fire. This was kinda cool because when they fall in the fire you get to see them melt.
When we were playing all the games we got points and on Sunday morning the winning patrol got prizes. My patrol, the Penguins, didn’t win, but it was very close and those Pandas better watch out next time.
