Anyone interested, plesase reply and I will give you my contact number.

Have you also checked the JR minibus service from Ipswich and to see if there are any mini bus services from Kesgrave - it might work out cheaper?

Hello KB,

I had spoken to JR Travel a few times but they cannot commit the cost for September as it depends on how many children would be on the bus. It will not go less than £11 a day, it is not about the cost, it is about cutting half the travelling time. I would be very happy to pay £3 / day more.

JR Travel also confirmed it has bus from Kesgrave but there will be loads of pick up points after Kesgrave too.

I would be happy to join in such a solution but unfortunately we are on the waiting list. We live in Martlesham Heath.
There is another boy in Kesgrave who got in (unless it's you :-) and who might be interested.

I like this long journey expression KB :-).
And if the girls are not interested in football, they will be after a few weeks in his companion.
He is a walking football lexicon.

Dear Lolaru,
If you are interested to join in our taxi, you are very welcome as it will cut down half the travelling time. Do not look forward to long journey at all.
Please send me a private message so that I can let you know my number and we can talk about the plan and details.

Dear Virginashi,
I do hope your little boy can get a place. If he does and you would like to join us, please let me know to check whether we still have room for him.
All the best!
