I have been in frequent contact with Acorn over the last couple of days and we are making progress with regard to extending the size of the trip. They have confirmed that the other adjacent tented village at the centre is not occupied when we are there, so it shouldn't be a problem if we need to use a few extra tents.
I have just heard that their transport co-ordinator is sure that she will be able to book a larger coach for us if we need it (currently we have a 49 seater booked).
That leaves one stumbling block, which is that I currently only have 4 staff (including myself) and that allows us to take up to 40 pupils. I have contacted colleagues to give them the details and will be approaching people on Monday to see if I can persuade someone to join us. There is such a nice group of pupils booked this year that I am hopeful that someone will be prepared to come.
I am very optimistic about our chances of taking a group of 50 this year, and this should allow us to take just about everyone who wants to go, which is always my aim.
I will let people on the waiting list know by email if we can take deposits from 10 more people (we would extend their deposit deadline, of course).
