Our next Dangerous Club for Boys meet is coming up on Sunday 11th Oct from 2pm-4pm at The Lookout in Bracknell.  We’ll be geocaching this time so bring along a GPS if you’ve got one (iPhone and iTouch have one built in).  We’ll be doing a fair amount of walking and scrabbling around so make sure you’ve got the right boots/shoes and clothes.

Our meeting point will be on the benches between the Discovery Centre and the play equipment and we’ll have a drink and snack afterwards so bring some money for the Cafe or a flask of something.  So we know to expect you please drop Stefan an email.
