An Important Message About Summer School

Summer School is almost full!

There are just 3 x 5 bed rooms left, so the next three families, or groups of friends prepared to share (same gender, please!), to send in booking forms and deposits will get them.

PLEASE NOTE! Anyone planning to come to the school on a daily, or occasional, basis will have to book for meals in advance. With the number of people already booked it is imperative that the staff at Lorne buy enough food for everyone – and this is ordered the week before the school begins.

Anyone planning to avail themselves of the tuck shop offer of a soup, sandwich and drink lunch (£2.50) will also have to book in advance, as Claire will have to make sure that she has sufficient provisions to accommodate you.

FINAL BOOKINGS FOR MEALS OR THE TUCK SHOP, FRIDAY 15 JULY.

YOU CANNOT “JUST TURN UP” AT THE SCHOOL AND EXPECT THERE TO BE ACCOMMODATION OR MEALS FOR YOU.
