Lighthouse 2009 stats
For those who like figures, final stats are yet to come (our database chap is now on holiday!) but initial figures are as follows:
Join us today at 4pm
All parents, relatives, friends are welcome to join us onsite today Friday 24 at 4pm for the end-of-Lighthouse celebration - an extravaganza of fun, music and silliness!
We've started
Lighthouse Thame 2009 started today, with 585 4-11s (including quite a few who registered on the door today), 175 parents and toddlers and 115 for halo:gen (evening youth event).
At least 100 of the 670 that pre-registered have not finished school yet, so we expect quite a few more onsite on Tuesday. At this rate we're heading for 1,000 happy customers this week, not including the 300+ helpers.
T minus one
Well, we're nearly there. Just a few final tweaks, some tents that need decorating and the Commissioning Event this evening (6pm, open to all). Today's Lighthouse News is available here: www.lighthousethame.org.uk/LN
Amazing...
Prebookings for Lighthouse Thame 2009 are now at an amazing 613! This is 60% up on the same time last year (375) and there's still a week to go.
If you're waiting to send your child to Lighthouse, please book online now to help us with our planning!
