Leicestershire Academy visit the Snowdome!
Friday 03 February 2012
Thank you to Billie Griffiths for writing the report below on the Leicestershire Academy Snowdome visit!
‘On Friday the 27th of January, the Leicestershire and Rutland British Showjumping academy spent the evening at Tamworth Snowdome.
We arrived one by one and checked in. After a reunion we had a look around the ski shop and wandered off to start the tobogganing. There were a lot of people: Billie, Fahrran, Amy, Gemma, Racheal, Tilly, Sam, Kieran, Claudia, Josie, Annabel and everyone's parents.
We had a safety check on how to use the toboggans. After queuing we went up a huge escalator all the way to the top of the hill. As we reached to top of the hill we looked down to see our mums waving.
The parents enjoyed the bar facilities as we enjoyed the slope. Tilly's mum enjoyed both! We sat waiting at the top of the hill on our toboggans when we were given the signal to go. The slope looked scary at first because it was so big, but when you got going it was a lot of fun.
Quite a few of us collided and spun around but carried on and tried again. Covered in snow we went up the escalator again. This time more excited than nervous. Going down the slope I pulled up my brakes and snow flew out from underneath and covered Amy! After getting seven turns on the slope we warmed up in the restaurant and ate quite a lot of food!
I am looking forwards to the next academy with Di Lampard on 13 February. Thanks to everyone who helped organise the trip it was great fun.’
