Westland Riding for the Disabled

Hi folks!

I trust your first term has gone well.

I am writing on behalf of the Westland Riding for the Disabled (RDA).  They are desperate for volunteers.  Volunteers help with horses and riders.  They need to be over 14 yearls old and physically capable.  Volunteer times are flexible.  RDA Westland is open from 10am to 5.30pm Monday to Thursday.

This is a great opportunity for helping in the community and getting some horse experience.

Westland RDA is on Facebook or you can contact Sue 0273037912 or Jane 03 755 8069 or 02102718810

Fwd: Arthur's Pass Outdoor Education

Hi Folks,

If anyone wants to pick this up, please contact Gemma.  I am happy to forward any emails, but I can't organise anything.

Subject: Arthur's Pass Outdoor Education

Hi ,

My name is Gemma and I am the manager at Arthur's Pass Outdoor Education Centre.

Earlier this year we had some home school families from Canterbury join together for a camp out here that ran similarly to a school camp. The goal for them was to give the students and parents an opportunity to socialise with others in a similar situation to them while having some fun outdoors. The weekend was very successful and I want to see if you can help me to see if there are other students and families around the South Island who may be interested in something similar.

Firstly due to feedback we have received, in the upcoming school holidays we are looking to launch our first Family Olympics to encourage families to get outside and explore while participating in a bit of healthy competition. This is open to all ages and families and therefore is an opportunity to experience what we have to offer while meeting new people and having a fun weekend. 

We will provide food, programme and accommodation over Sat & Sun (2 weekends to choose from). Families will then have the option to extend their stay throughout the week ($30 per adult; $20 per child per night for accommodation only) which will give them the opportunity to participate in some of the free activities that The Department of Conservation will be putting on or they can explore Arthur's Pass and surrounds at their own leisure.

Would it be possible for you to email the poster attached to families who you think may be interested please?

Secondly, we also offer tailor-made programmes and family camps around particular intended learning outcomes and interests if families would prefer. We can accommodate 45 people at a time with the option of having an additional 28 at the Alpine Club depending on room shares. We run programmes all year round and choose suitable activities for the weather conditions. We also have a range of gear such as rain coats, thermals, gloves, hats, sun hats etc. that participants can borrow at no extra charge if they do not own them.

Please let me know if this is something you think your families would be interested in as I am keen to broaden the opportunities for young people to experience the outdoors.

Kind regards,

Gemma Murphy
