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.

global gang 2009

Our 2009 Global Gang – Operation: Neighbourhood - involved masses of fun and some pretty cool stuff in the community.  Whilst the Infant school aged groups put on a tea concert for the elderly in the village, the Juniors attacked Windlesham’s rubbish in a huge litter pick.  Well done to all who came and to the team who helped.

summer challenge and dates for dangerous club for boys

OK, the summer is here so it’s time for a challenge.  If you’re by the beach sometime during the holidays, why not build a model boat from bits you find on the beach (beware of sharp objects!).  Once your masterpiece is ready write on the side or add a note in a waterproof container saying “Please photograph and email the photo and location found to events@dangerousclubforboys.com”.  We’ll have a prize for the most travelled boat.

Looking forward, here’s the dates for DC4B over the coming school year.  Normally we’ll meet in the late afternoon but some activities will be longer so keep a track on the web-site: 11th Oct, 15th Nov, 24th Jan 2010, 7th Mar, 16th May, 11th July

rockets galore

Our second Dangerous Club for Boys was a great success with everything from making stomp rockets and water rockets, to some seriously impressive air-burst and solid fuel launches.

rockets on july 12 – dangerous club for boys

Our next meeting is on Sunday 12th July from 4pm-6pm and we are kindly being hosted by Woodcote House School.  You can find directions on the School’s website. 

Our theme this time is rockets and we’ve got plenty of fun planned.  If you’d like to make your own rocket beforehand then why not make a water rocket body out of a 2 litre fizzy drinks bottle.  You’ll find lots of ideas on Google for decoration/fins/etc and we’ll provide the launchers.

We’ll finish with pizza and need to know how many people will be coming so please let us know asap by email to events@dangerousclubforboys.com.  The event will be weather dependent so take look at the web-site on the day and we’ll tell you about any changes of plan.

the dangerous club for boys

We had our first meeting of the Dangerous Club for Boys on Sunday 10th May and what fun we had.  The club is for lads and dads aged 5-105 and we started off with an afternoon of Scalectrix and pizza.  We decided we’d try to get together every half-term and came up with a whole range of things we’d like to get up to – here’s the list:

• Water and air rockets
• Archery
• Climbing wall
• Geo-caching
• Giant catapults/trebuchets
• Canoes/kayaks/raft building
• Cricket
• Shelter building / camp craft
• Make your own cross-bow/long-bow
• Air-rifle shooting
• Making a potato canon

So if you think the Dangerous Club is your sort of fun and might be where you’d like to spend some quality time with your lad/dad then keep an eye on the web-site for updates and the date of our next meeting.
