So, please make every effort to be at as many of the activities as possible on the programme particularly the mealtimes, Big Hello, Saturday morning and Sunday morning meetings . All the mealtimes are scheduled and set so please make sure you are ready to eat at those times.

So, to make sure the Church Weekend runs smoothly, let’s all do our bit to ‘muck in’. Teams to join when you arrive include cleaning the toilet blocks, washing up, preparing for mealtimes, maintaining some sort of order at the drinks station and tidy the main barn. Let’s all make sure to muck in during ‘The Big Clear Up’ at the end of the weekend too before we all head home. At the end of the weekend please leave any accommodation clean and tidy and report any breakages or accidental damage caused to Sim Dendy.

Therefore, although we don’t have a heap of rules around alcohol consumption, music and bedtimes, we do ask that we are considerate and respectful of each other. Why not seek specific opportunities during the weekend to put someone else first? Perhaps in the queue for lunch? Or in the queue for an early morning shower? And that’s why we all look out for all our children and young people, and why if you see anything that could be dangerous, you should take action straight away.

So, we need to do a great job of looking after their site. Please use the bins provided taking care to separate recyclable and non-recyclable waste. Also, if you bring any glass bottles on site, you are responsible to take these home with you to be recycled elsewhere.

Therefore, please follow these four simple rules to protect the safety and enjoyment of the weekend for everyone on site:

• Cars must be parked in the car parks.

• Whether you are staying on site or off, during the weekend please sign in and out on the ‘Sign In’ sheet on the board new the kitchen hatch in the main barn.

• Dogs must be kept on leads at all times around other people. No dogs (other than guide dogs) are allowed inside any of the buildings. All dog litter must be picked up and be disposed of.

• Smoking is restricted to the designated smoking area – please ask for more information. There must be strictly no smoking in the forest areas or in any of the buildings or accommodation.
