Guest Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi Am new to this - so hope it ok to post this which is nothing about EYFS lol. My son is 16 at the end of this month and just wondered if anybody had any ideas what we could do or where to go to make it a bit special (not too expensive - credit crunch lol). Am in Worcestershire in case it makes a difference. Thanks for your time Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 What are his interests? Im not overly familiar with your part of the world, so where can you easily get to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Paintballing? Dry ski slope? Go-carting? Don't know your 'part of the world at all - so just some ideas! Don't forget to let us know what you decide on! Sunnyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hi Lucy - Don't really know about 16 year old events up in your part of the world, but wanted you to know it's fine to make non-EYFS posts here. That's what the lounge is for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I was going to suggest go-carting too not sure about the age limits or the costs but what about Go-ape its all high up scary stuff Lazer quest Food! my daughters boyfriend turned 16 last week and when asked what he wanted he simply wanted a meal out with his friends and family and strangely thats what my daughter asked for last year when she turned 16 there's lots of pubs that serve 2 for 1 these days and at 16 he might be happier with a pub meal than a macdonalds i think its that "im an adult now so can I do something adult please" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I was going to say Go Ape but someone has already beaten me to it, depends what he is into of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) I'm watching this as my daughter turns 16 in October. I was hoping for a family weekend in Hornsea but she's not keen??? She's just got back from school camp in the lake district and has been -Go Ape, mountain biking, conoeing, gorge scrambling (what ever that is!!) plus more so 'been there done that'. She's wanting a no parent house party-NO CHANCE!! Edited July 11, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 at the time, my son also wanted a ' grown up' meal with friends, we booked the table, they all paid for own food, instead of giving anyhting as a gift which at that age they did not really feel they had to have.. we have lots of local suitable venues, so booked a local bar/ resaurant, in our case he was happy for us to join him and his mates, but if not we would have had a table for us somewhere as his choice was the bar... it worked out a very good evening which cost us very little..
