CLUB challenge chart

BRAND NEW for 2009 - 2010

A huge A1 size, hand-painted poster, full of fun activities and things to fix

The challenge chart records your progress through the 52 challenges of the year. Each time you complete a challenge (sent by email on Friday afternoon), a sticker fixes one of the problems in the wood and takes you on a fun journey through the seasons.

The route is secret and you'll only find out the next step when you get your challenge. In the year you're a member, you'll:

  • make a raft and sail the river
  • avoid the conker mines
  • escape the impossible maze
  • taboggan through snowdrifts
  • helter-skelter around tree trunks
  • unlock the hidden tower
  • tunnel underground to the den
  • fire the human cannonball
    and 44 other things!

Who's in the wood

Along the way you'll meet fairies, viking warriors, archaeological diggers, circus performers, actors, pirates, sleepy hedgehogs, mice, badgers, birds and all kinds of woodland plants and creatures.
 

The challenge chart shows how you're getting on with your weekly challenges, which are made fresh every Friday morning and change every week.

52 stickers to unlock the secrets of the chart
 

Each week, when you've done your challenge, we'll reveal the next step of the woodland journey.

Your stickers fix things like broken bridges and signposts, unlock doors and trapdoors and introduce new friends to the wood.

CLUB members join the journey when they register an email address to receive their challenges (details are in the welcome pack)
