I’m not sure of the details of it, where it is or anything, but for whatever reason the place will not let them take more than the 15, I think from conversation tonight she said he’d spoken to them again – maybe when they’ve done it before (I assume they have) they didn’t get full? I don’t know

but in the end the person who runs it puts in lots of work organizing things etc. (and as is the way, they are involved in various other village activities it seems) ok so maybe sometimes they do a less then perfect job, but other than the once a term or so bit of parental help at the sessions (not exactly demanding) we aren’t all jumping up to offer our services.

That seems most unjust. When is it? Could you arrange something even more fun instead that she couldn’t have done had she been on the Rainbows sleepover?
