 Poster: A snowHead
|
My mate (who is an Italian teacher living in the UK) is always whinging about the cost of HT ski trips and she has asked me to see if anyone would be interested in putting something together to bring down the costs
So, I am thinking of putting together a teachers only trip for next half term. Have asked a few people I know and now have 8 interested,any more ?
Not quite sure yet how it would work – my mate has suggested that people who are full/part time teachers should get £100 discount of the cost, I am not against this too much, but would need to look at how people prove they are teachers. Oh, well can sort out the technical bits later.
But, for now, a simple question; would any of you teachers be interested?
PS If there is enough interest I would book a full hotelin Madonna di Campiglio (google it), which would ensure there are no school groups in the hotel at the same time.
Please post your thoughts and comments below, and PM me with your contact details if you would be interested.
 P.S I’m waiting for the howls of indignation from parents.   
*********************************************************
NOTE if someone else wants to jump in and take over the organisation let me know as (with that sort of discount) we are making sod all on this - just doing for a mate who has asked, as we have all the logistics in place anyway. But if you want to organise something else let me know and I’ll give you the contact details of the people who have already expressed an interest

Next half term is at the end of May - I'll be delighted to join even though I'm not a teacher if Madonna is still open and skiing well.

Why would people without children be going on a ski holiday at half term (even with £100 discount) unless they were teachers?

Iski, Wayne, I have checked and ours, North Wales, is the 9th. to 16th. Does that mean we are one week before the first French week ? Edit. I believe it does.

To prevent too much of a thread drift
We have checked every education area in the UK and most of them are Sunday 17th Feb and some are the week before
Note I use Sundays are the start dates as thats when most (not all) Italian hotels change-over.
So, it could either be 10th or 17th departure or (for a few other LEA schools and some public schools) whenever yours happens to be, we can run trips at any time.
*********************************
Don't forget that if someone else wants to take over the running of this trip (I now have 12 people), just PM me

Hi...just found this thread...is the trip still open? I am a teacher. Tend to go away on my own as none of my colleagues ski!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Sonj,
Yep
Send me your details by PM and I'll add you to the list
It would be helpful if you could tell me which airport you need and which date your HT is..
Note.
If you go to the Snow Events section Admin is running a trip to Folgarida on the same dates, so you should have plenty of people to ski with

I would be up for a trip at half term. Do we have any prices yet? and any more details?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
South West I believe is 9th Feb !
Wayne, where are you thinking of going, approx costings? I think people would need to book flights sooner rather than later
Mentioning the word 'school' or 'students' at any point = 1 euro in the pot for charity

NOTE
I'm only releasing 15 twins rooms for this and maybe a few triples and quads. Reason being that we don't make anything on this and I do need to keep some rooms that generate income.
1st come, 1st served.

I was going to run this to Madonna but I have sold out my big tow hotels in the town and can't get any more beds.
So it will now be to Folgarida as I have 6 hotels there so can normally find enough room for a small grou of 30 or 40 happy souls.
The price would be as shown on our website - just deduct £100. This must be booked on the phone to me (just ask for me when you call) as the on-line system will not give discounts.
All the other details are as shown on the site. So the price (in a twin it's £880 with the discount) inc; flights, transfers, ski gear, 3* hotel (Renzi), lift pass, etc, etc.
Extras payable are if you want to extend your lift pass to cover the whole area (360km) and ski school if needed.
Any question just give me a call on the number on the site.

People would prove they are teachers by doing a not too dissimilar voice to that of the teacher in Another-Brick-In-The-Wall (shwing my age there ).

Wayne,
I'm gonna shamelessly pimp on this... being an ex teacher myself I got so annoyed by th eprice hikes in the School Hols... so much so that I used to be conveniently poorly or attending some kind of event based in a snowy area normally the week before half-term
Because of the World Champs in Schladming we have already got a healthy booking from the train company so I am offering some rooms over half-term for teachers at only €49 per night (based on at least 2 sharing) for full chalet board. Funny leaving date though... Arr Sunday 17th Feb dep Fri 22nd (6 nights).
Check the link below if interested.
This is only for teachers and their families!!

Doh.. oh yeah.. 5 nights!..
Normally possible to ski on arrival and departure days as we are only 45min from Salzburg.
Flights always tend to depend on where you are flying from really but by using something like skyscanner.com or the like I'm sure there are lots of options!
Leaves a little bit of time at the end of the holiday to get some marking and planning done

skiAnn,
Have a look in the Events section - there is a  's trip to the same resort at the same time ( Detail here ).
You could post a message in that thread and see if anyone answers.
Or you could send a PM to Admin and ask him if he knows of anyone else on their own.
