Dear Parents
When CELEBRATE
started in 1994 our aim was to offer an opportunity for everyone in the family
to enjoy a relaxing spring week with good spiritual input. We feel
that this aim is being fulfilled, and the fact that with very little promotion
CELEBRATE has been fully booked each year indicates that people enjoy and
benefit from what is on offer
The Core
Group have been particularly delighted that so many children and young people
have come each year, representing about half the total number present.
Some of the young people have started to invite friends from school or college
to come with them, and so we have been pleased to welcome a number who do
not have regular contact with a church or a Christian group. Whilst
this enthusiasm to be part of CELEBRATE is exciting and very welcome, it
has caused some difficulties for us as organisers.

The Core
Group have therefore drawn up some guidelines
to cover bookings, and some rules regarding the participation and behaviour
expected of those attending CELEBRATE. We are doing this to avoid misunderstandings
and in the best interests of all those who attend.
Bookings
Anyone under 16 years of age and not accompanied by a parent or guardian
must have a signed letter giving parental permission for them to attend CELEBRATE.
The letter should be sent to the Conference Secretary and should state which
adult (friend, relative, youth leader, etc.) will be taking responsibility
for them during the time they are at the Conference.
Bookings for chalets from young people under 16 years of age will not be
accepted by the organisers unless there is an adult (18 years or above) in
each chalet to take responsibility for that chalet.
Rules of Conduct
It is expected that all young people at the Conference will attend their
streams, and will inform the leaders if for any reason they will not be present
at any of the sessions.
In the interests of the whole Conference, everyone must be in their own chalets
from midnight except in special circumstances.
Strictly no drugs are allowed on the John Fowler site or in the Conference
building unless under prescription. Anyone found in possession of illegal
drugs will be sent home immediately.
Alcohol must not be brought onto the Conference site or purchased in the
bar or supermarket by anyone under 18 years of age. Adults are asked
not to buy alcoholic drinks for those who are under age.
Trusting we may rely on your co-operation in fulfilling
these conditions where applicable, and thanking you in advance for your understanding.
Sue Whitehead,
Conference Secretary |
