I remember each kid had to pay £6.+, but the school did say that a child would not be left out if ya cant afford to pay...BUT if they didnt have sufficent funds then they would have to cancel!

By the time you have caught 3 buses from ossy to Burnley you are talking at least £1.50 per child. Times that by 50 and it's £75. Thats nearly as much as paying for the priveledge of a door to door service the private hire companies are providing, and probably takes half the time too

don't forget as well unless the coach firm is local to the venue you are paying for the drivers waiting time for the duration of the trip

But there'll be more people than just you and Reece won't there? Let's say it's a £54 seater and all the seats are full - that would come to £5,346!

.....And....a kid is usually sick on a seat which involves special cleaning afterwards
as well as cleaning up the toffee papers,crisp bags and spilt pop

Kelsey's secondary school are rewarding the kids who have excelled in English with a trip to ten pin bowling at Pilsworth, not costing a thing, she can take a lunch or take money for a stop off at McDonalds. I reckon that's a good reward and a great incentive for the others to try harder next year, 22 of them have been chosen out of the year.
