Sounds like it's be one to avoid!
 
Nah, it appears that there are probably only going to be three groups in the morning and afternoon, about 8+ per group.

BTW the charity itself sounds dubious at best - another "jobs over here, pretending to help people over there". 
 
I well remember the smell of sweaty forwards from my rugby days (being cuddled by two large props) - I wonder if that same "scent" will remain in the cave on the monday!

You'd have to be bloody enormous not to be able to get through. Perhaps someone can mislead them into doing The Smartie Tube instead. Or would that be a Forbidden Trick (c) ?
 
I am going to ask for a day off so that I can volunteer to sit at the end of the drainpipe and revive all these hunky rugby players as they crawl through!

I can hear the screams echoing back and forth...
 
Their accounts show that they appear to get about £50,000ish a year from donations, about a third of a million from the government and other agencies and spend £100,000 of it on their wages, averaging £400 each per week.

Have to agree with your cyncism, however, £400 per week is only the average wage in this country, so if the charity is UK based, the employees would expect that level of pay.

I ought to go and work for them.
 
Their website states they're not offering paid work at the mo'; you can volunteer to raise more funds for their wages, though, apparently.
