CHECT Members’ Weekend 2020

Event postponed

Sadly, due to the various impacts of COVID-19 and the absolute importance of the health and safety of all who attend, we have had to make the very difficult decision to postpone this September’s CHECT Member’s Weekend.

We have not taken this decision lightly. Like so many of you, we were looking forward to seeing everyone face-to-face in what was planned to be another very special weekend for our all our CHECT members and families.  

Everyone who has purchased a ticket will of course be refunded and we have already begun developing our plans with the hope to hold the event in September 2021 should the charity’s finances allow.

Thank you for your understanding.

About the event

Hosted at the excellent PGL Liddington, this event will be an opportunity to meet others who have been affected by retinoblastoma (Rb), make new friends and spend time together. CHECT members of all ages are welcome to attend along with their families. Starting on the Friday evening and ending after lunch on Sunday, the schedule is jam-packed full of quality indoor and outdoor activities for all the family.

Ways to pay 

• You can purchase tickets all in one go – simply check out using your debit or credit card.
• Or you can spread out the cost through a payment plan. If you would like to choose this option, select ‘send invoice’ at checkout and a member of the events team will contact you.

We want everybody to have the opportunity to come along to this event – so if these costs would prove to be prohibitive, please speak to your support worker to discuss this. 

The address is: ‘PGL Liddington’ Foxhill, Liddington, Swindon SN4 0DZ.

What kind of activities will there be?

PGL Liddington is full to the brim with fun and challenging quality outdoor activities. Your preferred activity choices can be selected via a questionnaire, which we will email you after you have purchased your tickets. You will then receive your schedule in your pre-arrival pack.

We also have lots to do indoors along with some great organisations attending such as ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ and ‘Vision Express’ (with more to be confirmed).

There will be plenty of time for relaxing and socialising with other families during our evening entertainment, at the bar (chargeable), parent and toddler group, chill out rooms and coffee corner. Our support workers will also be available throughout the weekend if you would like someone to talk to or to ask for advice.
