In person coeliac boys event (Bucks region)

For those who don't mind travelling out of our region for a meet up, Claire (Bucks Youth) is organising an in person meet up for coeliac boys (accompanied by their responsible adult).  This event is for boys in school years 6 - 13.

Where: Go Ape Treetop Adventure Plus at Wendover Woods (HP22 5NQ)

When: Sunday 30 June, 14:15

If you're interested please purchase your son's ticket yourself and select the 14:45 Adventure Plus slot so the boys can be together and you must supervise him from the ground throughout plus sign his waiver form.

The time on up in the trees is 60 mins. Please note this is not an event where you drop your son off. Go Ape states that children must be supervised from the ground and parents will need to do this.

Meet at the Go Ape desk at 14:15 so families can all say hi then the boys will have the safety training at 14:30. 

It's £30 buying online https://goape.co.uk/ 

If your son is not comfortable with heights or doesn't want to do it, your family is still welcome to come along and watch, there will be time after the 14:45-15:45 time up in the trees for all the boys to mingle.   

Parking is paid for on your way out at the machines and Wendover Woods use a vehicle registration system:  https://www.forestryengland.uk/wendover-woods 

Please email Claire at coeliacsbucksyouth@gmail.com to let her know if you will be going along.
