I accept that. What about using parents or maybe other volunteers in the community? Would it take pressure off the teachers if some of the parents were willing to go on the trip?

That is quite impressive. What kind of state are they in? Are they in a good state, or do you need money for capital spending? Where are we?

Mr March, is that the case across the board?

Finally, is there anything else on the financial side or the financial memorandum that any of you would like to comment on? If not, that is fine.

You called it a “learning village”. What is it?

That is great. Thanks very much.

At the moment, we have a lot of volunteers, do we not?

Mr March, is that the case across the board, or are there variations? Are some centres in danger of closing because the capital situation is so dire?

Mr Thompson, when schools choose which outdoor centre to go to, partly it is because they have a relationship with you—they know you and are comfortable with you—but how much is cost a factor?

Give us an idea of how big the dormitories are.
