DonHi, my name’s Don .

I’m 18 and come from Wirksworth where I’ve always lived. I’m from a really big family with 3 older sisters and 2 younger brothers meaning I’m used to a bit of hustle and bustle especilly at meal times. I went to school at St Mary’s Chesterfield where I made loads of friends and I’m hoping some of them will come up to visit me on open retreats.

I’m a really sporty person and I’ll play anything and everything from football and tennis all the way to ultimate frisbee. But due to breaking my ankle in May I’ve had to stop for a while and so I’m taking it slow until I’m back to full fitness. In my down time I enjoy trying to learn guitar(slowly), listening to music, reading and beating Dave on Pro Evo.

I’m really looking forwards to meeting everyone who comes up on Retreat here and I can’t wait to meet everyone.

Stay classy Derbyshire.

I’ve absolutely loved this week, and I hope you enjoyed it too! And I’d just like to say G’day Bruce to the ‘Cardboard Gang’, I really loved having you all as my small group and hope you all had a laugh too! It was great to see how the everyone always got involved, a prime example was the Bee session, and I’ve no doubt my group would have won if we’d had another go!!! Overall it was an unforgettable week, thanks for the great memories guys, and best wished for the future!!

I really enjoyed the few days you’d stayed and only wished you’d been here longer. I absolutely loved all you’re energy and enthusiasm for everything we did, and I especially loved the role plays my group did, I thought they were hilarious! I also loved the dance act I helped with to Single Ladies, I didn’t stop laughing. Overall it was a great retreat and I hope you all loved it as much as I did. Thanks for a great few days

This was a really great weekend and I couldn’t tell who was from year 8 or 7 because you all got on so well. My small group was so much fun, the Food Whisperers, and we were laughing all weekend. You were all so energetic and up for anything and everything, and I hoped you all loved the disco, despite some technical difficulties!! I only wished you could have stayed for longer!! Best of luck for the future
