Every year we have to relocate a meeting because of local elections (and, this year the Europeans too) using our usual meeting hall as a polling station. Some years we go to the local campsite and go grass sledging, some years we've gone rock climbing and other years we've been on a walk up a local hill. This year, because the weather was forecast to be really nice, we decided to do the latter. The plan was that all the girls would meet us up the hill, we would go for a walk that would last about an hour with a couple of stops for a rest/look down on the town and then we would meet the parents back at the car park. However, when we woke up on the Thursday morning, it was raining. We had told the parents that we would let them know by 4pm by email if there was any change to the plan so we crossed our fingers and hoped it would stop soon. At 3:45 we took the decision that, as it was still raining, it wouldn't be particularly enjoyable for the girls so we called it off. As it turns out, we would probably have been fine because it was only slightly spitting between 6 and 8 but it would have been really muddy and we would probably just have had complaints all the way which would have made it tiresome for both the girls and the leaders so I think we made the right decision.
Next week is half term so we have a week off but I'll be back the week after (unless of course I hear from the Team Digital people, in which case I'll let you know what happened).
