Northampton Rotary Club’s involvement with "Kids Out" is to give children from the special needs unit the chance to spend a day at Wickstead Park, Kettering as part of a national annual event that now sees around 35,000 children participate at their local theme park. The event, is organised by Rotary and started in 1990. The Northampton Club has been involved almost from the very start.
Kids Out at Wicksteed Park
Wednesday 14 June 2017
We have 94 pupils and 33 staff attending from Northgate Arts Academy and Greenoaks Primary Academy. They will arrive in three coaches at about 9.40 a.m.
In order to cover the number of groups I would like the help, please, of a total of at least 16 Rotarians and/or partners on the day. We ought to arrive at around 9.30 a.m. and I will organise the windscreen badges for our parking area. The children will leave soon after 2.00 p.m., so it is not too long a period and is always great fun and a delight to see the pleasure we give to them. There will be a break for the children to eat their packed lunches, so please bring your own snack and drink if you wish to eat with them.
We Rotarians are just facilitators and not minders on the day. The school staff has ultimate responsibility, and we are there to assist and help with care.
