12 Dips of Christmas at Carlton Lodge Activity Centre.

12 Dips of Christmas 2023

George our Head of Centre decided he needed a challenge for winter, so he took on the  Cancer research 12 Dips of Christmas challenge. 

He somehow managed to persuade Lauren and Dan our permanent instructors to join him. They have just got 3 dips to go to complete the challenge, the facilities team have promised to join them on their last dip in Christmas fancy dress, watch this space!!!. 

Cancer research is something very close to George's heart, as earlier this year he lost his Mum to cancer.

He has been overwhelmed by the amount of support that has been shown on his Justgiving page.  raising £690.00 so far. 

George said " I can't believe how many people have donated to my page, I can't thank everyone enough for their generosity and kind words of encouragement, massive thank you to Lauren and Dan for supporting me in all weathers."

Paul and I would just like to say how grateful we are for the activity weekend that you put on for us recently.

Bex, Scott and George were absolutely superb hosts from the moment we arrived throughout the activities until we left the following day.

With yourself and your colleagues supporting us internally you made it a very enjoyable weekend for our very boisterous rugby team.

The accommodation and facilities were exactly what we needed and we would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of making a booking.
