Duke of Edinburgh Diamond Challenge

You may have already registered to complete a DofE Diamond Challenge, if not, have a think about getting involved!

My own Diamond Challenge starts on Sunday Feb 28th, though training has been happening for many months. 

See details below. It would be great if I could raise as much sponsorship as possible for Cancer Research and for the DofE. Check out the links for the just giving pages below..

Update for silvers & gold

Hello All Silvers and Golds

I hope you have all had a great half term and are now ready for a few sessions of route planning.

A LAPTOP is required for all the upcoming sessions. At least one and preferably 2 laptops as a minimum per team.

Weds Feb 24thAll groups to plan their day walk route card. There is only ONE session allocated to this task, so all teams need to work quickly and efficiently. The route card will need to be complete AND checked by a leader before members of the team will be allowed to leave.
Your Day Walk dates have already been set. See attached list and relevant trip letters.

Weds 2nd and 9th March
All groups to plan for the Practice expedition in the Peak District at the beginning of July. This will be a first refresher Practice for ALL golds and the main Practice for ALL Silvers. Letter to follow nearer the time.

eDofEThere are still a lot of blank spaces in your eDofE profiles for your Silver or your Gold Award. You should have started all your sections months ago, so add the details now so I can formally approve them.

See you later.

Tracy.
