activities begin and many extra
curricular events are enjoyed. I’ve
enlisted the help of some of the
pupils there to share their first-hand
accounts of these happenings with
you.
Monica Bakelaar of Grade 8
shares her thoughts about a recent
trip for the graduating class.
On Friday morning, May 30 the
Grade 8 Hullett Central Public
School students headed to Camp
Celtic at around 7:45 a.m.
Enthusiasm filled each student as
they anticipated a long weekend that
promised many memory making
moments. The two-and-a-half-hour
bus ride seemed to fly by as
everyone was excited about their
time at Camp Celtic.
We arrived around 11 a.m. and
were greeted by head counsellors
and given a tour of the camp. All of
us could tell Celtic was going to be
an all-round great time. The many
activities we did included rock
climbing, high ropes, crafts, nature
walks, field games, the beach and
the unforgettable walk to the
beautiful grotto.
But who could overlook what we
had to endure during meals. There
was only one rule – no elbows on the
table.
Or one would be forced to do
embarrassing things such as singing,
dancing and even proposing in front
of the whole camp.
Between early mornings and latenights many fun activities wereenjoyed. Even in the cold and wet, a
game of Capture the Flag and Camp
Survival in the muddy mess made
the trip extraordinary. And we did
not come home clean.
As Monday came each student
sadly said goodbye to new friends
and counsellors. Even though it
rained each day and we got really
dirty, Camp Celtic was a great trip
we will never forget. We would like
to thank Mr. Coups and the Camp
Celtic staff for making our grad trip
awesome.
Great way to start a day

NEWS
FROM LONDESBORO
One of the little problems with a
weekly newspaper is that
occasionally when you receive the
news it is old news. By Wednesday
of last week Dorothy Sottiaux had
been moved to the Goderich hospital
to be under the care of her family
doctor for a time. Villagers continue
to offer her best wishes.
July 5 will soon be upon us and if
you are still considering having a
yard sale that day you might want to
be doing some early preparations.
I’m still hearing that folks are
considering adding their family to
the list at the post office.
Londesborough United Church
will observe the sacrament of
communion on Sunday, June 22 and
also welcome new members to the
church family.
The senior choir will gather for
practice that morning at 10 a.m.
Movie night is Friday, June 26 at
7:30 p.m. Rumour has it that the
flick being show is Cars.
