From: Jess Duffy
hey every one!!!! it titch (jess) from "name of school" Jus come back from the december 11-15 trip.
Just like to say a really big thanks to all the staff especially my group leader sara!! you helped me grow in confidence to talk to different people throught the week although i still couldnt talk much in the role plays at the end lol!!! and thanx to wot u wrote in my book sara it meant a lot to me and it made me cry : (. I had a really amazing time and i would recomend it to anyone but i must admit that the songs weren't the best bit of the time there lamo!!
it was a truly life changing week i now look at loads of different people differently and my self differently. Some of the games really helped you realise things as well like the asylum game especially if ur an asylum seeker.
it was one of the best times ive ever had not joking. id love to come work there but i cant because im not catholic (sigh). i like like it if u cud e-mail me back but if u cant then its understandable. Even if i never hear from you again this week will always be a treasured memory luv ya always especially sara Titch (jess) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

From: Chris Newton Dear all, Although technically I didn't visit The Manor, we here at Durham University were extremely grateful for the presence of Fr Peter, Jack and Teresa at our student mass at 6.30pm on Sunday. It definitely gave a lot of our finalists ideas about what they may do next year, and I hope that some do get the opportunity to get involved at Castlerigg Manor. On behalf of everyone at Durham University Catholic Society I would like to thank you for your extreme generosity and I hope you will be able to come and give a talk each year.Keep up the fantastic work God Bless, Chris Newton Durham University Catholic Society President

From: Lucy Norbury
Hi its Lucy, from 'name of school', the one who left a
day early.
Firstly like to say that I had the most amasing time ever, ever, ever!!! Met
the most amasing people ever, ever, ever!!!
Secondly I'd like to thankyou Caz, John, Mike, Sarah and Father Peter,
because, well I cant explain it very well, but my beleif and faith that God
is listning and trying to guide me has become a million times stronger, that
would not of happned if I wasn't given the opertunity to think about things,
to wait and listen to God's reply and to be in the chapel where the most
amasing things happend.
The night we did our confessions or asked for a blessing was the most
amasing night for me, I felt that I was really connecting with God and he
was listning, it was such an amasing feeling. It may sound soooo cheesy, but
I thought I'd let you know how it felt, beacuse its down to you guys I felt
so amasing.
Lastly I'd like to say it was soo fun, I was really dissapointed that I had
to leave you all early,but even though I did leave early I still got a heck
of alot out of my stay. Theres somthing about Castlerigg thats special and
I'm so happy I went.
Really upset that I missed the Disco beacause you didn't get the chance to
see my amasing, funky moves!
John.... BECOME A COMEDIAN!!! or maybe a profesional domino course builder thingy along with Adam! However never do
that hand clappy thing with me again, as im injured, and I'm still annoyed
you laughed at me when I was attacked in the puddle! only joking.
Caz you are such an admirable person! really you truly are! So much
dedication and determination for what you do!
Also a flippin' good walker!
Sarah, Didn't get to talk to you as much, but I'm telling you now, you are
so like our headteacher's daughter! She is a very nice person though! oooo I
did forget to tell you, that you always had gorgeous jewlery!
Mike, our team leader!!! oh yea team 3! woop! your such a leg-end (thats our
way of pronouncing legend). you love 'the lion the which in the wardrobe'
which is fabby. I do have a bone to pick though... Ive only gone and got the
flu!!! :( ah well had to go to sombody! Thanks for being great!
Father Peter I loved your walking hat, maybe going to buy one! The guitarist
of the week! Thanks for everything :)
I'm thinking seriously about coming back for a gap year to Castlerigg as I
would really love to be there. Please e-mail me back, stay in touch etc
because I cant beleive how much Castlerigg has Changed me!!! THANKOOOOO!!!
(I hope the e-mail wasn't cheesy/soppy/boring!!!)

Will you marry me? lmao Anyways, we're all really missing you, and are all thinking about you. We're all considering coming back for signposts in the summer aswell! Sorry we couldn't make the last one, we had alot to do, + With GCSE's etc, we're really busy, and are finding it hard to have a social life at all! GOFFI. Boggis has just quoted 'Oh, i wanna' go back!' And we all really do. Castlerigg was a special time in my life, the love of rigg brought us all closer. Anyways, I have work to do.

From: George McLAughlin
Hi There,
I was at Castlerigg Manor with name of school in November 1973. Yes, I'm 48 now, my old school is no longer there but pleased to see Castlerigg Manor still is. I am living in Birmingham and have an almost grown up family now, in fact my daughter is now the same age as I was when I went there with the school. If anybody takes the trouble to read let me tell you this is much more than a week away with your mates from school. If you take it seriously enough you learn so much about yourself. I still remember the week very well but more important how it was to help me later in life. Father Foulkes was the Director at the time and Bill Duncan was on the scene.....maybe you still are Bill? Keep up this invaluable work.
Best regards,
George McLaughlin

From: Emily & Hannah Hey everyone, It's Emily and Hannah here (11th- 15th sept). We just want to say thanks again for the great time we had when we went to castlerigg. Hope everyone is ok (especially bob/Jon). We all want to come back for another week because we're missing it so much. On the way back we sung all the songs you taught us... well Brendan sung most of them but we all joined in. Although "oh a leyla" can get quite tiresome once he has sung it 15 times! Even though we complained quite a bit we enjoyed every second and we wish all the staff every happiness. Bob we really miss your jokes (and you mountain rescuer hat!). I've asked all my friends why they call me frenchy but no-one can seem to answer the question so it will have to remain a mystery. Thanks again. Lots of love. Emily and Hannah
