The group arrived late with no message sent to school. A member of the team was having to self-isolate but no contingency plan had been arranged for this scenario. They were to continue with the visit and offer 2/3 of the planned activities. Then the climbing wall broke and so the first session ended up being a time-filler activity on the field. The climbing wall managed to be fixed and the children all took a turn. The course leader was very enthusiastic and tried his best to make a good experience out of a bad situation. The second person was young, shy and did not communicate well or interact with the children or staff. The course leader broke covid protocols a number of times and I had to remind him a number of times of our precautions.
The course leader agreed with the company that they would return free of charge. It has taken four months and three emails to get a reply from the company and they then offered the week following the email reply, which was too soon. We are awaiting the rescheduling of the event.

Late arrival due to traffic, compounded by the fact that the climbing wall was unable to be driven to the desired location at the school, despite google maps of the school being shared with MM. A secondary location had to be found which cut into the time allowed. Next, there was limited equipment available which meant that 31 children had to wait to share 5 bows, which would have been ideal if, as intended we could have split into 4 groups, but due to the limited numbers of instructors that arrived we had to stay as one large group for the morning activities. The lead instructor was knowledgeable and able, the more junior instructor struggled to lead archery with the whole group.
