Vietnam Planning Meeting - October 11th

As 2016 draws closer it would be good to meet up  to look at the things which need to be done and to meet the final group. At this meeting we will look at more detailed trip planning, staffing, vaccinations and risk management.

Many thanks to those who have sent me a copy of their passport. It would be good to get the rest at this meeting. Even if you are planning to renew your passport I would appreciate a copy of the current one.

We will hold the meeting in the Chapel on Sunday October 11th at 3.30pm. I hope this date and time will allow boarder parents to combine the meeting with returning the girls to Tolcarne.

If you have any further questions please contact me.
