<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>CANAL BOATING - HALF TERM</b><br></font><p>
Would you like to come and stay on a canal boat for a night at the start of half term? We have various different groups attending on different days, and most still have a few spaces. More info on the website!<p>
Boarding the boat at midday near Hertford or Waltham Abbey, we will cruise down the river, opening locks as we go. Members will get to steer the boat and help open the locks! We will moor up for the evening near Broxbourne, where there is a field we can go on to play wide games etc. Following dinner, we then watch a film on the boat before sleeping aboard. In the morning we cruise up to Hertford or Waltham Abbey where you can be picked up by your parents at midday. <p><img src="http://www.nmyouth.org.uk/images/201710canal.jpg" border=1><p>
The boat we hire is twice as wide as a normal canal boat and has all the 'mod cons' - proper beds, central heating, hot running showers, 240V power etc. Members sleep in one of four cabins, with adults sleeping in separate cabins but close by. James is a qualified canal boat helm and there will be another adult present at all times as well. Members will be wearing bouyancy aids at all times whilst outside when the boat is moving. We can take up to 10 members, please let us know if your child is interested or sign up via the website.<p>

We have a couple of large items under the stage at Brookmans Park School that we need to get rid of (old snooker TABLE and TABLE tennis tables) as we have run out of storage space. Would you be willing to come and collect them at the end of the meeting on Friday and take them to the household refuse for us? Large car required, please let us know if you could help.

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>LOST PROPERTY</b><br></font><p>
We are currently storage a large quantity of lost property from recent camps and activities (summer camp, surfing camp, wakeboarding, recent meetings). Please could you check our online photo gallery to see if you recognise anything! <a href="http://www.nmyouth.org.uk/lostproperty">http://www.nmyouth.org.uk/lostproperty</a> or email lostproperty@nmyouth.org.uk if you have mislaid anything.<p>
<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>OUTSTANDING MONEY</b><br></font><p>
We are owed just over &pound;3000 at the moment by parents for unpaid activities and subs. Ringing round everyone to remind them to pay is a very time consuming business. Please log in to the website (link below) and see if you owe us any money and if so pay it! You can do this online with a credit card or paypal, or pay us by cash (in a named envelope) or a cheque (made payable to North Mymms Youth Project) at any meeting.

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>PARENTAL HELP ROTA</b><br></font><p>
We do ask every parent if they can help at one meeting each term as we have a very small leadership team. Thank you to the parents who have already volunteered. If you have not yet offered to help, please click the link at the top of the email and let us know when it would be convenient for you to do so.
