  4. ACCOMMODATION Accommodation is in lodges, with bedrooms that sleep up to four people. There are mattresses on all bunk beds with a bottom sheet. The children MUST bring their own sleeping bag and pillow as these WILL NOT be provided. Members of staff sleep in separate rooms within each of the lodges. Each bedroom has good washing and toilet facilities. Single gender accommodation groups will be organised nearer the time and children will be given an opportunity to chose who they share a room with.

  5. MEALS • Children will be provided with all meals during their stay at PGL. • Meals will take place at the Dining Hall and children will be given a range of choices. • Children will be expected to help clear away after they have eaten and will be responsible for keeping the dining area clean and tidy. • Children may bring their own treats if they wish (No glass bottles please!) • Children will also be given an opportunity to use the shop. Please do not send any more than £10 and all money must be given to the group leader in a labelled purse/wallet or money bag.
