Words by Rachel Goodacre:

"As you will have recently read, there’s much change and excitement in the Activities Department. Jack is stepping into a new position as a Property Manager, which I wish him every success with; and I’m very pleased to have taken on the role of Head of Activities from November.

I started working for the company 4½ years ago at HPB Henllys as a Seasonal Activity Coordinator. After a tricky year re-establishing the Kids’ Club post-lockdown, Holiday Property Bond offered me full-time work and I began my career as a Senior Activity Coordinator. It was brilliant to find such a unique role where I had a split of physically running activities for guests as well as overseeing the administrative side of things.

A fantastic addition, that came with the full-time role, was instructing adult activity programmes – which some of you may recognise me from. Highlights from these sojourns have been learning how to play Mölkky; helping to plan the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations at HPB Manoir du Hilguy; teaching yoga and making personalised Christmas cards at Henllys; at HPB Cabo Girão, leading guests on walks to a secret beach – and having a regular group of people who, much as they moaned, loved being stretched, lunged, and twirled into fitness in the colder months! As you can imagine,

I’ve been lucky enough to visit many sites, but the three mentioned are very special as I’ve spent most of my time at those locations. I will still be delivering some activities now I’ve taken over from from Jack, but I’ll also be taking on more of the organisational responsibility.

My aim is to ensure that you always have brilliant experiences (particularly those in the four to 12-year-old bracket) when activities are offered. I wish everyone an enjoyable winter and look forward to seeing you on-site soon."

26/01/2024

Words by Jack Edwards:

"Farewell… After almost 10 years of working as the Head of Activities for Holiday Property Bond, the time has come for me to move on to a new role within the company. And what a decade it’s been!

When I first started the Kids’ Clubs were offered at four sites, during the Easter and summer school holidays. This typically involved hiring around eight staff each year.

In comparison, in 2023 the Kids’ Club operated at seven sites, (with Alfaix also covering half-terms), and with a team of over 25 staff in total.

Of course it’s not just the Kids’ Club that I have been involved in; we have been developing the seasonal activities programme: Cycling in HPB Constant, Wellness in HPB Cabo Girão, Walking at HPB Manoir du Hilguy, Tennis and Fitness in HPB El Pueblito de Alfaix to name just a few.

There have certainly been ups and downs, with cancelled flights, sick staff, covid restrictions and Brexit changes combining to make sending UK staff to work overseas much more difficult.

I have enjoyed every minute. I pass the mantle on to a familiar face, Rachel Goodacre, who I am sure will approach the role with bags of enthusiasm and wonderful ideas to expand and improve the activities on offer across our sites."

"My wife and I have driven to all French and Italian sites on several occasions, since 1992. However, now in our 80s we have become reluctant to continue continental driving. Last Autumn, as a try-out, we decided to visit HPB Constant by train.

We travelled to London and then by Eurostar to on the first day, staying overnight at a hotel next to Gare Montparnasse, taking the mid-morning TGV to Bordeaux the next day. There we changed platform to take the train, arriving in Bergerac in the late afternoon.

After an overnight stay and a lovely evening meal in a restaurant overlooking the River, the next morning – after a short visit to a nearby supermarket for some essentials – we took a pre-booked taxi to HPB Constant. There, we found that the local shop and the excellent restaurant sustained us during the week.

On the return, an early-morning taxi back to Station meant that we accomplished the whole return journey home to south Wales by late evening.

What have we learnt from this experience? Travel light (we had a small wheeled case and rucksack each); and definitely take a taxi from the Gare du Nord to Montparnasse and not the Metro!

So as we all age, and car travel and car hire become more difficult in later years, it is worth considering alternative travel options. Yes, it may be possible to fly and take a taxi from Bergerac airport, but there is something magical about thundering through the French countryside at nearly 200 mph (and you will feel good about your reduced carbon footprint).

Having successfully accomplished this trip we are planning similar to HPB Manoir du Hilguy (TGV to Quimper), and maybe even to Stigliano (overnight sleeper to Milan and then to Siena, with a change in Florence)." - Eric & Glenys Bowers
