Members of NYTO had a successful trip to enjoy outdoor activities and orchestral music making in leafy Nottinghamshire's Walesby Forest at the start of June.

Both the weather and students shone on the morning's activities: showing prowess on the outdoor Climbing Wall, excelling at team work in the Cave Maze, enjoying the Tomahawk throwing, plus finding the nerve to take on Jacob's Ladder and the Wobble Pole.

After a jacket potato lunch provided by Walesby Forest, and a trip to the gift shop, the youngsters enjoyed an afternoon of orchestral music making and even a quiz in the large marquee. The day ended with a rehearsal performance to families.

When everybody had gone home and tutors were helping to take the bunting down and pack away, they commented on how impeccably well behaved the youngsters were and what great company! Thank you parents for getting them all there on time.

Thank you also to Conductor Dave, NYTO's fab tutors and Andrea (trip supervisor) for your hard work which enabled the day to be such a success!
