WHAT TO BRING?
Shoes
- Shoes for outdoor activities
- Soft shoes for dancing
- Hard shoes for step
Clothes
- Warm clothes for outdoor activities. It is cold and windy!
- Clothes suitable for dancing. And spares.
- Something to sleep in, pyjamas, Channel 5… your choice!
- You do not need a sleeping bag: pillow, duvet, bedsheets and covers are provided by the hostel
- Costume for Saturday night (theme is Mythology)
Money
- There will be a bar available once we get up to the hostel, so if you want to be able to buy something to drink from there it would be strongly recommended to bring some cash
Other
- Cakes and other bakeries -it is customary to bring something up to share to have during breaks over the weekend. It is really nice to have a wide spread of cultural tasters and you get to show off your skills!! Check Linda’s e-mail on that.
- Cameras if you want to ensure people won’t forget all the silly and embarrasing things they do
- Musical instruments, songbooks with chords, tunebooks, props, anything you’d like to share
