As part of the weekend, we will also be hosting our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where we will report on what's happened this year, and how our work nationally is progressing.

 

The event is free to all attending Young Advisors and their Leads, as is all the accommodation, activities, food and refreshments over the weekend.

 

The event is only open to trained Young Advisors and their Leads, although Young Advisors who are currently booked on to receive their training may also attend.  There are only 80 places at the event, so book soon!  Three places offered for each project (including the Lead) until the end of July, after which tickets will be issued on a first come first serve basis with larger projects receiving priority

All Young Advisors under 18 must be accompanied by a member of staff from their host organisation who will need to have gained parental consent for your attendance.

 

Rooms for both Leads and YAs are single sex, but dorm style, so Leads will share a room with other Leads of the same gender, and YAs will also share rooms, but with other YAs.  First come first served!  If you want to be with your team mates, try and get at the centre for 5pm!

 

The closest railway station to the centre is Hope (Derbyshire) and we will be running regular minibus pick ups for the 2 mile journey from the station to the centre.  You can also phone the local taxi on 01433 620 525.
