All recent info about the 2017 trip

Dear volunteers and parents,
There has clearly been a problem with emails from school to the volunteer group so we have set up the group again on the email system. For this reason I would ask for a response, by return to rdarby@bridgnorthendowed.co.uk to confirm receipt of the email.
There are a number of pieces of information that I have given over the last two months or items that were up for discussion that you need to be aware of:
1.       There is an additional £90.00 cost to the trip to enable us to keep the Zanzibar experience. This is due to the loss of value of the pound (20% loss in value over the last year). This needs to be paid by 31st January.
2.       Visa applications – I need a visa form completed (attached), student passports, 2 passport photos and a letter of consent (draft version attached) by Tuesday 10th January as we need to get visa applications off to the High Commission.
3.       At 6pm on 17th January there is a pre-flight meeting with African Adventures in the Old Hall. It is important that all volunteers and parents attend this event.
4.       I have reactivated the Tanzania blog from 2015. This can be accessed via the school website links tab. You can access the 2015 blog and see what happened and view the photos. I will also copy all email communication to the blog from now on. Whilst we are away, I will update the blog daily (wifi permitting!) and would encourage you to interact with the blog.
Please remember to email my PA ( R Darby) to confirm that you have received this email so that I am sure everyone has all the relevant information.
