We hope you had a nice Christmas and have some kind of plan for New Year - we're still looking!
Looking forward we have a very exciting year lined up! Firstly, if you have 2 good things, how can you make it better? Put them together to get a doubly good thing! Which is what we have done with the Year 7/8 and the Year 9/10 minicamp that this year are both at the same site - still technically different, and in different buildings, but same place same time! What fun! The staff teams are cooking up great plans and fun, and we look forward to seeing lots of people there at the end of January (29-31st). If you want to come, but not yet sent off your letter, get on it now! Only a few places left!
Who's looking forward to NJBF in February? A couple weeks after 78910, we have the EVOLVED version of NJBF, which is JB Development, in conjunction with the GB Chapter Development Workshop. The first letter has just gone out, and we're very excited about this new venture. The JB Development part is Friday 12th at 7pm to Saturday morning at 11am, then the Chapter Development takes over until Sunday 14th at 3pm. Get your letters in now (look on the googlegroup for them).
That leaves us on the run-up to the Wild West Weekend! Thanks to everyone who applied, it's shaping up to be one of the most exciting events of the year. If you didn't get a place, hold on until next year.
Last bit of exciting news, our Fairtrade T-shirts are back, still for an awesome £12! Check out how cool they are! To get your hands on one, just email us your Names, Chapter, Size, Contact deets (Phone/Email) and you can pick it up at our weekends, or we'll sort something out. Feeling fancy? Throw in our cotton bag for a knock-down £3 when you buy a t-shirt! What's next I hear you cry... well, a clue for now, starts with 'H' and ends in 'oodie'...
And what about us, dear old Jess & James. Well, Jess has decided to climb Kilimanjaro next September, how cool - help her out by going to her fundraising events and stuff. James is about to go skiing for the first time, so should be a bruise-ful experience, seeing as he struggles to walk in the first place. And what did we get for Christmas? Both got socks, what does that say about us? Watch out though, James ALSO got a mini-battery-powered-megaphone coming to a weekend near you!
Much NJR love,
Jess & James
