How long did the activity course run last year?

M: Molly, this is the second year of the activity course for the summer holidays, isn’t it?
W: Yes, that’s right. The summer course operated for the first time last year for a six-week period from the middle of July until the end of August, the length of the summer holidays. This year we’ll be holding the course again.
M: But, as I understand, last year’s summer activity course was not a complete success, was it?
W: Well, we didn’t actually have enough staff so we had to turn people away. The weather also gave us some difficulties. There was such a lot of rain that we couldn’t go outside as often as we wanted to.
M: So, what activities can the children look forward to this year?
W: Well, once again, there will be art and music experts who will lead creative classes. We also considered providing some more exciting adventure sports like rock climbing and caving.
M: So, can children come on the course for the whole summer?
W: Sure. Kids can come for the whole length of the course if they like.
M: So, if a child or a child’s parent is listening, and is interested in coming to your summer activity course, what should they do?
W: They should go to my website, www. summeractivities. co. uk and print out an application form. Send it in with a deposit as soon as possible, because the places are going fast.
