Letters sent!


Me and Lauren have now sent off the letters to the administrator Michael, and we went into his office to sign them. They are now sent off to the various parents of the class students. We will be sending off a third letter as soon as we get the accomodation booked! Hopefully Kaleigh and Lorna will do this as soon as possible!

Letter's and tables done!

Myself and Lauren have now completed the second letter, which details the flights and prices and will be sent out soon. We have also completed an emergency contact table which is almost filled in(by the whole class). It has the students name, mobile number, emergency contact name and their mobile number as well as the student's home landline.

Flights Booked

We have now booked the flights to Prague, which will be on from the 10th of May-13th of May. The total cost of the flight per person was £69.05 and we paid on our tutor (Justines) credit card. We plan on paying her back soon, and we will be doing more fundraising in the future to help raise money for the trip and charity.

The first flight from Stansted is at 16:40 and is due to arrive at 18:30 local time. There is a 1 hour time difference however between London and Prague. The flights home on the 13th are departing at 20:00 and arrive at Stansted at 20:55.

Meeting 1 + Meeting 2

This was supposed to be posted before my last post, but we sorted out our roles, and my role is with Lauren in Admin and Finance. We have sent a letter to Michael Mead, and he has sent it out already to the students parents. Blaise, Steph and Hayley are doing the fundraising, Gemma and Steph are sorting out the attractions and activities. Lorna and Kaleigh are doing Accomodation and finance. Megan and Kristy are also doing transport.

Actual date done was 10th of December - Secretary was Lorna E

Meeting 2 was held on the 7th January - Secretary was Steph B

Our second meeting was the first meeting where we would look into the different ideas that we could include into the trip. The transfers to and from the airport were to be decided between a mini-bus or a taxi. However the idea of the Taxi was deemed unsuitable since each taxi holds 4 people and it would cost a lot more than using a bus.

Accommodation needed more research. We came up with a hostel which would cost each student £37 per person however breakfast not included. However we did find out that there was a cafe next door to it.

The attractions team came up with a few ideas, and one of which was a segway tour around the city centre. The river cruise was another idea and it is definitely going to happen according to the attractions team. It includes a river cruise at night with dinner and drinks paid seperately. Another idea for an attraction would be a spa day, however a lot more research was needed for the activity.

Fundraisers came unprepared and there were no concrete idea's included either. However in the meeting they came up with an idea on dates to do fundraisers. Both dates decided were mothers day and valentines. In the next meeting the fundraisers have to come with more concrete fundraising ideas.
