Slte Overall: Evenin8 bookin8s are now at a very good level with very often 2 or 3 groups a night. The use of member Districts open up for them selves has also worked well taklng the burden off the site crew. We have been asked If we can run an open weekend next year so new leaders can visit and see what the site ha5 to offer - this is to be planned. Bulldln85: Tollets. Upgrade work is on8oin8 wlth most of the toilet blocks al be it painting etc. No major Issues this yearjust ware and tear.
