04/10/07: Bear Good!

That was the verdict of a group of young people from the Cherry Tree who went on a recent trip to Wales.

The group of seven young men got money for their trip by making an application to the Youth Opportunities Fund and were supported by the South Havering Detached Team.

The group had two nights at a local youth centre near Brecon. On the Saturday the group did two activities caving and gorging (which involved climbing a waterfall). On the Sunday they went to the Millennium stadium in Cardiff for a tour before heading home.

The overall response from the group was that it was a very enjoyable experience or in their own words Bear Good!
