Challenge
Valley - August 2007
Challenge Valley saw well over 4,500 people
a day, running the course over a 4 hour period, using the course
on 11 consecutive days. As one of the instructors put it on the second
day ‘I think the Scout Jamboree is going to test the equipment
to a point of destruction’. It may have done, but it all
held up with only slight wear and tear, all of which was managed
by our team and the spares left by you.
Challenge Valley was a
zone at the Gilwell Adventure Day, as part of the off site programme.
Gilwell Park is the home of Scouting and the day consist of fun
and challenges as well as discovering the history of Scouting and
more traditional activities, this is what our Jamboree Director
Bill Cockcroft wrote: “The Off Site Programme was exceptional
and rated top with the participants! Many people have written and
spoken to me about the WSJ being ‘stunning’ and ‘awesome’,
so I think we delivered what we were asked to do!”
The World Scout Jamboree
was a huge success with the participants and organising staff all
having a great sense of achievement. There were almost 30,000 young
people as participants who came from 214 countries and territories
worldwide, a huge achievement. The success of Challenge Valley
and the World Scout Jamboree would not have been possible without
all our commercial supporters no matter how big or small their
contribution, we thank you for your support. |

Norfolk
Show
The Royal Norfolk Show, which attracted over
90,000 visitors, provided a great showcase to regionally launch our
new product directory and to meet customers both old and new. Following
an absence of over 7 years the show was a great success and provided
many opportunities to discuss projects from simple maintenance issues
to complete new community playareas. |

Green
Biomass Energy
We have recently invested in biomass energy,
which will utilise our organic waste material to provide warm air
heating and energy for our factory. The system is the final stage
of developing our eco manufacturing process which includes material
choice, procurement, optimising materials and delivery, lean manufacturing
and reprocessing waste into bio energy minimising our demand on
fossil fuels and non green energy. |

Planning
Guide
A free planning
guide will soon be available
either in PDF and hard copy format. The guide can be used to design

Tree
for life Project
As part of our continued commitment to our
environment impact policy we are offering a free Oak, Ash, or Maple
tree with every trim trail installed. Our tree offer combined with
using materials from only managed sustainable resources provides
a balance between the need to use natural material and sustaining
our eco environment. The deciduous tree also provides a living education
resource where children can learn about seasons, changes in colours
and understand how trees mature. Why not visit our Tree
for Life project page and see organisations, which are activity taking
part. |
