but enjoyed it very much. When is the next
trip?”

the really scary rides, feeling like I’ve

looks forward to them each year. This trip
was very well organised and enjoyable. Well
done.”

more rides. I felt good, brilliant.”
(Mum).
“What a wonderful time was had by
all at Thorpe Park. We got there at opening
time and flew through. Because we had children
with disabilities, we could have bands on
our wrists that got us through the queues
like jelly.
The rides were hair raising and stomach
churning. Absolutely fantastic!!!!
We had the most marvellous weather, hot
but not too much wind. Lunch was eaten at
the farm, it was so very nice and peaceful
there, I didn't want to move. The teenagers
(including my son) kept re-riding the same
ride and loved it. My son wants to go back
and I've said we will, but not yet. Many
thanks Horizons for the trip, the subsidy
towards the cost, the day which was brilliant,
it took 3 days before the smile went from
my face thinking about the day. Fond memories
of Thorpe Park, the group and everything
about the day. Wholly enjoyable. Many thanks.”
(Mum).

Preparations
for CyberZone’s 10th birthday party
CyberZone’s 10th birthday
party
CyberZone’s
Summer Barbeque and new website launch
“Our
first summer trip this year was to The Farmland
museum near Cambridge. Lots of people signed
up so we hired a big and a small coach to
cope with the numbers. The weather was awful
till we arrived at which point the sun started
shining (thought not continuously). The
coach was extremely comfortable and most
people commented that they had had a very
relaxing day- me included- with nothing
to worry or hurry about. My 15 year-old
daughter, who has learning difficulties
enjoyed sitting between two female parents
on the back seat of the coach (while I as
an embarrassing dad was banished to the
front) and enjoyed listening to the adults
and joining in when she could.
“I
liked the birds of prey best. I did not
like the gypsie caravans because you do
not see inside.”
“I like the dragon and the zedonk
best. I did not like the vineyard. The trip
was good.”
“We
liked the big swings, ice cream, zip slide
and birds of prey. We didn’t like
the weather. We saw deer, we learned things
about birds of prey and we saw a zedonk.
The trip was relaxing, stress-free and good
value. We are happy we went on the trip.”
“We
liked walking through the forest, swinging
on the big swings, seeing all the different
animals and what they were made out of,
watching the bird show and the boat ride.
There was not much to do after 3 hours.
We liked going with Friends of CyberZone.
The trip was very good and we were very
pleased with the transport.”
