South Australian Homeschooling Camp - 2012

HI all. The time is fast approaching for our 2012 Homeschooling Camp!

The dates will be Mon-Fri, April 23rd - 27th. This is Week 1 of Term 2. Anzac Day will be on the Wednesday, so we'll no doubt have Anzac activities and so forth on the day.

The camp site sleeps around 90 people in total. It is located just outside of Melrose, at the base of Mt Remarkable. The site provides dormitory-style accommodation, with bunk beds in each room, sleeping from 4-6 people in each room. There are 18 rooms available; some with ensuites, and some without.

Our Willochra Camp is very relaxed - our activities include hiking up the Mount, and a trip to Alilgator Gorge (hiking down the 150 or so steps into the Gorge), as well as evening activities such as a Bush Dance, Concert and Quiz Night. All activities are completely optional - if you'd prefer to simply relax, chat and put your feet up, that's fine too.

The costs are $21 per person, per night, which includes the booking fee. Pre-schoolers are free.

There is no camping allowed on-site, however, if you would prefer, you are able to camp at the local caravan park. It would then cost each person $10.50 to attend the camp as a 'day visitor'.

The site has a large kitchen and dining room, and each family brings their own food and meals. There is a large, walk-in fridge for food storage. We usually have a 'baked potato night', 'pasta night', 'BBQ night', etc., so everyone is having similar meals, but again, this is flexible, and each family does what suits them.

If you are interested in making a booking, please email me at: lindamaher08 at gmail dot com .



There are still several rooms available, so even if you cannot make it, we would appreciate you spreading the word – we would like to see more of the rooms booked, and the opportunity for some ‘time out’ offered to as many homeschoolers as possible.

For those who have booked rooms, I shall be in touch shortly with further details.

Please pass the word around to as many homeschoolers as you can!

Thanks and God bless,

Linda.

Clearance Section is Complete!

Whew!   It is Done!

Well, after months of 'a little here, and a little there', I think I can finally say that 'it is done'. I've just uploaded the final books in our 'Clearance Section', meaning that unless I discover some unknown title deep in the depths of our stock cupboard (or find out I've left off something really obvious), all products will now be found on the website - those that are our regular products, and those that are on the sell-out list inclusive.

If you find any broken links, Shopping Cart buttons that do not work or have been left off entirely, typos, or other errors, please email me - I've discovered that being your own author, typist and editor does tend to have some drawbacks!  If you can let me know about any errors that you find, it would be most appreciated.

Have a wonderful week!

 

Total Chaos!

Well, as ususal, my wonderful plans for our own school year are not exactly working out!

Although we live in a rental property, new carpets are being laid this week in a couple of the rooms - which is lovely, but rather chaotic.

Please be patient this week - the carpets are being laid Wednesday, which means Tuesday is going to be one hive of activity as we empty out two rooms, and then the rest of the week will be just as bad as we put everything back (most likely in different positions - may as well move it all about while we have the chance!).

We'll still keep up with orders, email and phone calls as best we can - we understand the importance of having your order quickly, especially at this time of year.  However, if you feel your message has been missed, just send me a (gentle) email reminder.

Thankyou, and God bless,

Linda.

New Uploads to the Web-site

Hi all.  The website has now been updated to include, in the clearance section, 'Australian Literature', 'Computer Studies', and 'History'.

Links:

http://www.adnilpress.com.au/Australian-Literature.html

http://www.adnilpress.com.au/Computer-Studies.html

http://www.adnilpress.com.au/History.html


As well, we have added the range of books from Apple Leaf Books to our regular catalogue:

http://www.adnilpress.com.au/Apple-Leaf-Books.html



It has come to my attention that at times when I remove an item from a drop-down menu because that title has sold out, that sometimes the coding of the 'add to cart' button goes a little out of whack. 

When this happens, instead of an item being added to your cart, you will receive an error message.  It's easily fixed from my end by re-inserting the code, so if this should happen to you, please send me an email, and I'll fix it right away. 

We have received many orders in the past week, and I have therefore not had the time to sent out email notifications that your order has been sent.  We are working to have all orders in the mail asap - but if you are concerned in any way, just send me an email, and I'll let you know on the progress of your order.

Thankyou and God bless,

Linda.
