Recording

So group, everything is now prepared for our annual trip to Blackpool. For those of you joining us, we will be leaving on Saturday 22^nd May at 4pm. At the moment, 36 people have paid their deposits. We’re hoping to catch the train on the Saturday morning to travel to Blackpool. The journey should take no longer than three hours. I’ve looked at the anticipated weather and the forecast predicts that it’s going to be raining that weekend so, it’s probably a good idea to bring a raincoat and some boots.

Now, I want you all to take down the emergency contact number which you need to give to your parents. The number is: 07856 378. I repeat 0 7 8 5 6 3 7 8.
