Warwick Castle survey

Delegates, I recieved this notice by email upon our return home. Please feel free to "cut and paste" the quetions to your own email, and send in your answers!

Welcome home, Ambassadors and leaders!

We hope that your program was everything that you’d hoped it would be and that you brought a lot of memories and stories back with you. This summer has been filled with incredible new experiences, and you’ve taken part in one of the newest and most exciting. The Warwick Castle visit, and the accompanying encampment, is the reason we’re writing to you.

As some of the first delegations to participate in these new activities, your feedback and information are very important to us. We want to hear what you thought of Warwick Castle so we can use that information to make it even better for future programs.

Please answer the questions below as completely as you can and send your answers and comments to submit@ptpprograms.org. We encourage you to include any photos you have of your program, especially Warwick Castle , so we can post some of them on the web or in some of our materials.

Thanks again for your participation and feedback.

What are your impressions of the Warwick Castle Experience?

Did you participate in the overnight encampment? If so, what was the experience like?

What was your favorite part of the overnight encampment?

How do you think we could improve on the overnight encampment?

What kinds of hands on experiences did you have at Warwick (got to wear armor, etc)?

How did the encampment compare with other activities during your program?

How do you think you’ve changed as a result of your People to People experience?


Thanks again for your feedback. We look forward to reading your replies and seeing your great photographs. Enjoy the rest of your summer and best of luck in everything you do.

Calls from Belgium

Many of you plan to use MCI phone cards for delegates to call home during our adventure. I've just found out that these cards cannot be used from pay phones in Belgium. I'm going to assume that other cards won't work there also, as such regulations aren't usually "card" specific, but rather a rule established by each country's governmental regulators. We encourage delegates to make phone calls home NOT from their hotel rooms (as this costs a whole lot more!) but from pay phones, for example in the hotel lobby. Accordingly, please don't expect any phone calls home on either July 19th or 20th.

Of course, should you have any questions those dates you may call the People to People Delegate Assistance Team at 1(800)669-7882, and they will help you out. Incidentally, that's the number to use for any questions any time during our trip.

Airport meeting

By know you all know this, but just a reminder: we'll meet at 4:00 A.M., Wednesday, July 4, near the Delta ticket counter. Where, exactly, at the ticket counter will be a factor of conditions there at the time. Worry not, as you'll be looking for us, and we'll be looking for you.

Please don't be late! I know it is very early, but we must get 31 people through the check-in process, and through security. And as you no doubt are aware, security measures will be tight at the airport, which translates into taking more time. Usually, airlines won't let us start checking in until everyone, including anyone who is late, has arrived. Being just a few minutes late can delay the entire process for the whole delegation.

Weather

Just a reminder, but we aren't going to the tropics, delegates! In fact, currently the weather in Ireland is around 60 degrees and light rain. So make sure you take a light rain coat. Think of what the weather would be like around here; one day it can be hot and sunny, the next day cool and rainy. It will be much the same on our trip. Think "layers" when you dress for the day, and you should be prepared.
