Bouncy castles

Vakas · 21 May 2014 at 15:47

Hi

We have start an organisation to get young people into activities including archiary and many other activities and we're now going out to other cities as well

We're looking to buy a bouncy castle something large I have had a look at a few going for about £350.

Any ideas of anywhere could look or contact to help me with this?

Thanks

Well, you are I the right place old boy! Unfortunately my only advice is not to set up the archery range near the bouncy castle.

Or combine the two for moving target practice?

You mean like the Scouts or the Boys Brigade already do?

Well to be honest, Brownies/Scout's whatever their called right now will be your biggest competition and you have to be better than them for you to beat them but good luck!

The problem with scouts and brownies now is you can't do any of the fun dangerous stuff like lighting fires and cooking on them against health and saftey apparently as such only the leader is allowed to make the fires and cook Bear Grylls is trying to change this so all the fun stuff can be done again but he's allegedly fighting an uphill battle.

Not like it was when I was a boy... in the scouts trying to cook a sausage over a GODAMN CANDLE! Hilarity and food poisoning ensued.

Why didn't you build a proper fire?

Mat · 21 May 2014 at 16:57

Because that was the challenge and life lesson we were being taught. That and the fact that we were inside.

We did make frying pans out of wire coathangers and tin foil once. Oh the fun we had pointing at each others burn scars from holding the rapidly heating hook of the coathanger as a handle.

You must've had a weird Scout Leader

Wouldn't have stopped our patrol! The fact the scout hut was still standing when I left scouts was a miracle in itself.

Your post reads like it's been sent from Nigeria

Whatever you do, just make sure you tie it down.

English long bow ftw!

I would have thought any large bouncy castle for sale in the range of £300 is not likely to last very long if it's used a lot.

Commercial grade (thicker, stronger material) cost hundreds to hire, so they must cost a lot more to buy.
