A fun-filled week awaits Get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime
by James Traynor So, you’re here! Welcome to Poacher 2017. We hope you like it. It’s taken a lot to get here. The build team have been building, the staff planning, leaders preparing, parents panicking and everyone packing their bags. We
have six fun filled days ahead of us and it’s going to be great! There have been over 113,000 activity tickets printed for 5,000 Scouts and Guides from around the world, meaning plenty of chance for you to have a go at the exciting
activities on offer from hot air ballooning to mountain biking and circus skills. And that’s not it - there isn’t a moment to get bored! At 1pm every day, starting tomorrow, take your packed lunch down to the main arena to see awesome displays such
as Birds of Prey and the Red Devils Parachute team. Prepare your lunch first thing in the morning and head to the arena quickly to get a good viewing spot. The fun doesn’t stop in the evening. Later today, Poacher kicks off with a bang at the opening
ceremony.Then enjoy the party atmosphere straight after. Feeling talented? Compete in Poacher’s Got Talent for the chance to perform at the closing ceremony. Thrill Seeker? All week you can head down to the fun fair to have a go on rides such as
the dodgems and the twister. Come down throughout the evening or even during the day! There is something for everyone here at Poacher, so get stuck in, have lots of fun and make lots of new friends while you do it! You won’t regret it.
