Junior Section & Company Section – Annual Holiday 2022
The Boys’ Brigade
North West District Training Centre
As you know, this year we have booked the The Boys’ Brigade Northwest District Training Centre at Kirkham for our Easter holiday, which runs from Monday 4th April 2022 to Saturday 9th April 2022.
Some of you may recall this was our destination in 2019 as well and was also intended to be our destination in both 2020 and 2021 but both of these holidays were cancelled due to the Covid-19 restrictions. As with previous years this will be a joint holiday with the Juniors and Company Section. Normally the sections run their own programme of activities, however there is occasionally some joint ventures as this can often get us better rates which means we can keep the costs to the parents as low as possible.
We have utilised the centre at Kirkham many times in the past, a total of fifteen times in total between the Junior Section and Company Section, so as you can see we like this centre and it has always been well received by both the boys and staff alike.
Centenary Hall
Why do we like it so much?
The centre is situated on the outskirts of the town of Kirkham in Lancashire, just a fifteen minute drive from Blackpool. We will also have exclusive use of the facilities of the centre itself which contains a number of dormitories, a large industrial catering kitchen and multipurpose dining and activities hall in the main building. The centre also has a large sports hall with Pool tables, Table Tennis tables and a climbing wall as well as a large grassy area which can be used for sports or camping and also an adventure playground.
Activities for the duration of our stay are listed below and include visits to attractions in the local area such as a Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Go Karting as well as LaserTag, swimming, and a cinema trip, etc.
Dining and Lounge area
Obviously this trip will go ahead dependent on there being no additional restrictions put in place due to Covid. If it becomes necessary for the trip to be cancelled due to Covid boys will be refunded all money paid. Similarly, if any individual has to cancel due to testing positive for Covid, they will receive a refund of all monies they have paid.
The date for making your deposit to attend the holiday has already passed and boys attending will have be issued with a payment card, and the balance of the money can be paid up week by week if you wish; however, this to be paid in full no later than Wednesday 23rd March.
Please note, any cancellations after 28th February will be subject to payment in full (excluding cancellations due to Covid).
