3/7/9 Go Ape vs Aerial Extreme
Does anyone know which of these two is easier? I tried Go Ape last year and I found it exciting but very challenging. Now my 10 year old and her friend want to try it but I'm a bit concerned about taking them. I was wondering if there is a lightly easier version anywhere nearby. Last year we went to a similar thing in France which was still challenging but easier and lower than Go Ape and you had your safety line on permanently and didn't need to keep unhooking it. I was hoping to find something similar here. Any ideas?

In the last couple of years we've bought dad a game he can play with the kids. Last year it was a cheap cricket set, the year before a couple of tennis racquets, the year before a simple garden quoits set. In each case it only cost £5 - £10 from the local post office or Tesco and they have had lots of quality daddy time.

15/5/9 Guide Group-Northwich?
I have a 12 year old capable SEN step daughter who would like to go to guides.Is there a group in Northwich Cheshire?
Julie Pickford
Northwich

To respond email mf.pickford@sky.com or noticeboard@kidsguide.co.uk

Hi Julie
To find your nearest Guides group you need to do the following:

Visit the Girlguiding UK website www.girlguiding.org.uk and click on the 'join us' option on the menu on the left of the homepage, follow the links for 'girls and young women' then 'request for information' and there is a form to fill in so somebody can contact you with the details of your nearest group.
We are an inclusive organisation and the fact she has SEN shouldn't be a problem, there may however be a long waiting list as many areas are in desperate need of more volunteers.
Good luck, I hope you find her a group to join!
Laura

15/5/9 Are you in the Sandbach Area?
We are trying to get a group going in Sandbach. If you are interested in meeting local Mums and Mums-to-Be, just like you, in the Sandbach area, please come to Quarelli's on Thursday 21 May at 10 am.
Don't worry about being roped into anything, we just want people to come and have a coffee and a chat, meet each other and talk about what kind of group they would like.
