<p><font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>CAMPING DURING HALF TERM</b><br></font><p>
The weather forcast for next week is looking amazing, why not come camping at Tolmers with us? If you don't want to stay overnight, you could just come for the day! More details on the website, places allocated first come, first served. If you are planning on coming please let us know <b>sooner rather than later</b> so we can ensure we have enough adults to help supervise and order the correct food etc. Too many 'last minute' additions will probably mean you will miss out.

<p><font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>MEETING THIS FRIDAY - HOT, HOT, HOT!</b><br></font><p>
If the weather stays hot and sunny we will do some sort of (optional!) wet activity on the field  - either water games or water slide related. If you think you might want to take part please ensure you bring a change of clothes OR swimming costume and a towel with you.<p>
There is no meeting next Fri 2nd June as we are camping at Tolmers. 

<p><font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>MEMBERS COUNCIL</b><br></font><p>
As some of you are aware, we are looking in changing some aspects of how NMYP runs from September. We would like to set up a members council (similar in the way to a school council works) which has representatives from every year group. This council would meet with the leaders once a term, eat pizza, and discuss what they liked about the last term's programme, and ideas for future meetings and activites. If your child would be interested in taking part, please let us know. We are looking for active members to sit on the council - i.e. those that take part in activities outside of the normal meetings.
