We have only just stopped crying long enough to type a message to everyone to say our goodbyes to our online blog for this summer.  It was an amazing last night!  The show and disco were fantastic with plenty of dancing, singing and gunging of leaders!!

Thanks to everyone involved for a wonderful XUK 2010, including all our amazing campers, the stunning staff team, the lovely New Eccles Hall School staff, our brilliant instructors including fencing, taekwondo and archery and even our friendly Galloways coach drivers!  We will miss seeing everyone so much!   It’s only 364 days left until camp starts again, not that we’re counting!!
