<title>Schools out for Summer!!</title>
<link>http://www.thepenninegroup.co.uk/news/2009/june/schools-out-for-summer.html</link>
<description>A short reminder to all of our customers that will be camping during the school holidays; 

Please take the time to erect and inspect you runits whilst leaving sufficient time before you are ready to use them. All to often, customers leave this until the last minute and this does not allow enough time for us to be able to supply spares or effect repairs where required.

If we are able to assist you, please contact our Aftersales Department with your requirements on Tel: 01254 355704 at your earliest convenience.

The remaining cotton  models (Fiesta, Countryman, Sterling and Pullman) are all now in extremely short supply. We would strongly  recommend that any prospective purchasers look to place their orders as a matter of urgency!!</description>
