4th - 11th April 25 family trip to Ladram Bay.

Well Tim and Shanti finally made it happen and relocated to the UK. Apart from a quick trip to Windsor it was virtually straight from Christchurch to Ladram for Shanti And the kids. Tim having arrived weeks earlier. The kids finally sparked into life and mixed well as could be expected but because of the cultural differences it's a job in progress. Plenty of trips out in glorious weather some nights in the bar and great progress made by Aiden and Jack on their bikes. Elliot and Flossie adapted well to their new bikes and environment. A successful, rewarding and enjoyable trip for all.

25th - 28th March Berlin.

Lads trip with Owen Carroll, Paul and Gerrard Finnegan. Lovely 5 bedroom apartment close to centre. Public transport was on strike for the duration and unfortunately Gerrard had 150 euros pickpocketed from him but we still had a fabulous trip visiting all the main sites and enjoying some great meals amd drinks. A very successful trip.
