Got to feel sorry for the staff at affected centres. At least it sounds like schools with trips booked to affected centres will be able to rebook. My DS is going on a trip this year but luckily it’s the Kent one which has been taken over by PGL.

One of the ones being closed is near me. Her primary school used to do summer residentials there every year.

Such a shame

That's so sad, both my kids loved their trips to one of the centres that's closing.

The one my kids went to twice was shite.

I went to the one in Northumberland as a kid early 2000s. It was the most basic place I’ve ever been.

From what I’ve seen since it hasn’t changed very much but my own child went elsewhere for their residential.

"Her" being DD.
Yes, it was very basic. As a young leader DD stayed there with the brownies.
