Hopefully, if you are reading the blog, you are one of the 40 pupils (or their parents) who are 'signed up' to come to Iceland with us in summer 2008. The photo above (taken by Jonathan Voigt on last summer's Iceland fieldtrip) captures a sense of the awesome power of nature which you will see next year. It shows the mighty Skogarfoss waterfall and some of the group (in waterproofs!) making a quick dash into the spray which is thrown up - it was great fun but we were drenched in seconds.Unfortunately, as more than 40 pupils paid deposits for the Iceland trip, we were obliged to ballot for places. If you were one of the unlucky ones who are now on the reserve list, hang on in there! Places often become available for a variety of reasons and you may yet get the chance to come with us next summer.
For the 40 other lucky pupils, I have now paid your first deposits to the tour company. A second deposit of £100 will be due before the end of term and you then have a year to save the rest. After the summer, I will organise a savings scheme for those who wish to pay for the trip in installments.
