Maximum Fun at Cornwall's Crealy!

April's meeting was held at Cornwall's Crealy for the opening of the 2009 season! The Creators' were treated to an exclusive tour of the Park's brand new Crealy Gift Shop, which is far bigger than the old Gift Shop, meaning more room for Crealy goodies! The Creators' all liked the layout of the shop and felt it had a lot of space for people to have a good look around.

After the tour of the Gift Shop it was time for the Creators' to ride; The Beast, The Viking Pirate Ship and The Ragging Rivers! The Creators' thought the Rangers operating the rides should be in costumers to match the theming of the rides; Marlin really wanted to see a Viking operating the Pirate Ship!

The meeting was finished off with a tour of the sables to meet the Shire Horses that live at Cornwall's Crealy. The Creators' had great fun meeting some of Crealy's largest residents!

The next Crealy Creators' meeting is on Sunday 10th May, 11am at Cornwall's Crealy.

See you all soon!

Baby Goats and Party Rooms!

With the new season fast approaching the Crealy Creators' have been helping with the final changes and developments to ensure even more fun for 2009! Liam, the Hospitality Manager here at Crealy asked for their advise on possibly changing one of the Magical Kingdom party rooms, to have a more grown feel for older children. The Crealy Creators' decided that the 'Wildlife' themed party room should be changed, some suggestions included painting the room white and having birthday banners around the room or theming it with 'Adventure Sport' pictures.

The Creators' then visited the Crealy Gift Shop to tell Steve, the Gift Shop Manager and his staff what they thought was missing from the Shop. Rebecca suggested selling magazines, national newspapers and puzzle books in the shop for parents and grandparents to buy while children are playing in the Park. Other suggestions included selling large family umbrellas, Sponge Bob Square Pants and The Simpson's merchandise, packet sweets as well as pick a mix sweets and Crealy posters and pictures. Martha suggested the pictures should be of Crealy and Honey Bear and Dina the Dinosaur.

The meeting was finished off today by visiting the baby Goatkids in the Animal Barn. In the last week 12 Goatkids have been born. The Creators' had great fun meeting them, pictured about is Harley with one of the Goatkids and its Mum, Elizabeth.

The next Crealy Creators' meeting is on Sunday 5th April, 11am at Cornwall's Crealy.

Parachute Games, Uni Hock & Yummy Food Tasting!

What an exciting meeting! Parachute games, uni hock and yummy food tasting! Today's meeting was run by Emily and Shelley, the play leaders from the new Crealy Kids Adventure Club - a unique holiday club, with safe adventures, exciting activities and great food!

Parachute games and uni hock (indoor hockey) are just two of the many activities that are planned through out the Adventure Club. Both games were given the big thumbs up by the Creators! The winning team of uni hock are pictured above with their captain Harley, after winning the penalty shoot out.

The Creators were treated to an exclusive tour of the new 'Go Wild' attraction - a canopy adventure above the dinosaurs in Dina's Lost World, which opens at the start of the season. All very exciting!

After all that play and excitement today's meeting was finished off by tasting the Crealy Bear party menu. The bacon baps and ice-cream Sunday's were a huge hit and liked by everyone! Sadly the same couldn't be said for the cheese sandwiches, the Creators found that the cheese was cut to thick, making the sandwiches to 'cheesy'. They also suggested that the party picnic boxes could be more exciting and colourful.

The next Crealy Creators' meeting is on Sunday 8th March, 11am at Devon's Crealy.

Hope to see you all then!
