Another very successful holiday season took place over the first 3 weeks of August 2011 at Timber Hill, Broad Haven, Pembrokeshire.  Once again the owners , John and Annette Bauer,  were extremely helpful  and accommodating in providing extra equipment needed for the more disabled children.

The weather especially during the middle week was not perfect but this was certainly not noticed by the children! The recipients were 26 children and 15 parents and the comments in the visitors’ book and feed- back from the referral agencies were some of the best we have ever had.

Mark Griffiths, Director of Sport, at Moulsford School joined as a new volunteer and his energy was an immediate hit with the more lively children!
