Seedlings

Activity Weekend at Mepal, 18^th-20^th July 2008

An activity weekend camp has been booked for Seedlings and their families at Mepal, near Ely, Cambridgeshire. Check their website. www.mepal.co.uk
The cost of camping at the activity centre is £3.00 per person per night and under 5’s free (sorry no dogs allowed). There will be organised supervised activities on the Saturday which will consist of a 3 hour session in the morning and a 3 hour session after lunch. We can choose 3 separate activities from their wide range which includes, Climbing, Archery, Trampolining, Target Shooting, Trust Trail, Sailing, Windsurfing (for up to 8 at a time), Canoeing, Kayaking, Raft Building. Activities have to be pre booked and are open for all over 8 years old.

They also have a play park for younger children and can offer boat hire, kayaks, canoes and pedalos.

If we get enough people interested the cost of Seedlings taking part in the activities will decrease to £15 for a whole days activities, for adults taking part I have secured a special rate of £28.50. However I do require numbers as soon as possible so that we can book the activities.
If you would like to go, either contact me through the SSVC forum

The Split Screen Seedlings was formed in 1997 at the AGM at Billing Aquadrome. It began as the Children's Split Screen Van Club, designed to make sure that the children within the club always had something exciting to do.

It started with a small database of names and birthdates and there are now over 500 children in the Seedlings. The Seedlings all get a birthday card, a Bi-monthly double-sided A4 page packed full of games, puzzles, recipies, jokes, ideas, and info. Then there is the main role of the Seedlings, entertainment at events. At events games and races are organised for all the children to take part in (and the adults).

In the past we have organised remote control car racing, have made a large cardbord van for a competition at BVF, made a Chinese dragon, made chocolate crispie cakes that were quickly eaten at the coffee morning etc etc.

Recently at Victoria Farm the children all received a T Shirt with the Seedlings logo on it and were able to add a design of their own or just colour in the logo. We also had face painting, a bouncy castle and races. The day was finished off with a wide game on the field (in the dark!).
