DFSC Winter 2015 Update


We've bought some new toys for the Common Room to keep our guests amused in those spare moments:

 

 The Common Room has also been completely repainted and had new lights fitted


We've also been upgrading all staff bedrooms to include more powerpoints to charge up all those mobile devices you bring!


A new sink in Staff Bedroom 21:
 

Our new 2 day First Aid in the Outdoors Course, which we run every January, now includes First Aid outdoors in the dark!: 


...and resuscitation practice on babies too:


The big change for 2015 will be new landscaping in the Centre Grounds


We have created a large new open space which will be laid to lawn. There is 20 tons of stone chip drainage channels in it


The new area will allow Camping, an Archery Range, Volley Ball Court and Problem Solving Challenges 


This is being made wheelchair and buggy accessible and will also feature nighttime lighting. We'll post more photos once the grass seed grows and it's no longer mud! In the meantime please accept our apologies for any inconvenience while the landscaping work continues.
