How about meeting up after work? Let’s & infinitive without ‘to’ Let’s have a party. It might be a thought & to & infinitive It might be a thought to have the party in the garden.

Anyway, next year I’m planning to come over with a group from school so it should give us a chance to meet up. In the ___________ (4) I really need some advice about where to stay. There’ll be about 30 16-18 year olds and we want to stay near Oxford. What we’ll need is somewhere big ____________ (5) to accommodate us all – not too pricey, of course. Can you think of anywhere? We want to do some cultural ____________ (6) of course – museums and the ______________ (7) – as well as some fun things in the evenings.

Do you know anyone? You perhaps, for a reasonable fee?! One word of ____________ (9) , some of the group have special needs. One of the younger ones is disabled and will need a room with special access, as well as a shower without a step. This’ll also affect how we get about. Also, some of the girls are vegans but that shouldn’t be a problem in the Oxford area, I would have thought. Anyway, they’re a lovely crowd – great fun. They’ll be well behaved, no problem at all. Here’s _______________ (10) you can help. All the best Sam
