k times has been given exclusive access to the Kepplewray Venture site. Inside the beautiful country house we found scenes of wanton pleasure seeking as the leaders spent all day saturday moving furniture. We saw for ourselves scenes of relaxation as the leaders spent all day carrying bunk beds, tables and chairs for no apparent reason.

the best fun I've had this year

One leader, who wishes to remain anonymous, said "This is amazing - I expected to find lots of hard work like drinking coffee all day and playing football, but instead this is great - all this furniture carrying - it's the best fun I've had this year" Other leaders were not so forthcoming and were clearly embarrassed by the fun they were having carrying furniture when they should have been drinking lots of coffee and sitting around reading the newspapers as most respectable people would be doing at the weekend.

The overall leaders (Rory Browne, Marian Browne, Jane Ditchfield and Tim Ditchfield), who are responsible for this unacceptable extravagance, were all unavailable for comment.

Tim Ditchfield is 39.
