ADD/ADHD - Thanet ADDers
Great Day Out For Thanet ADDers
87 members of Thanet ADDers had a great day out at Chessington World of Adventure on Thursday 28th August 1997.
Two coach loads left Margate at around 9 am. We had a good journey to Chessington, though a few showers of rain had us crossing our fingers for better weather. Typical British weather, I hear our American cousins saying. We arrived at 11.15 am, by which time some of our children were 'climbing the walls', but we were still all in good spirits. From then on, the sun shone and everyone seemed to have a great time. We had a few, short, sharp, showers but nobody seemed to mind. The underlying success of the day seems to be that as well as the ADD/ADHD sufferers enjoying themselves, the rest of the individual families were also able to 'let their hair down', in the knowledge that they weren't going to be the only ones at the park that day, with youngsters that might just 'upset the apple cart'. The staff at Chessington's made sure we were all able to enjoy ourselves, and we're very grateful to them. Our thanks also go to Dave Lee's Happy Holidays, whose donation made it all possible.
