Our new sheds arrive

We have now had our two need sheds erected. One shed to store all camping equipment, tables and benches and one shed for new woodworking/gardening tools. Before we do any moving of equipment we will be ensuring that the site is well secured and all equipment is security marked, this is in the hands of our new Quartermaster Simon Harding.















This shed is the larger of the two and will hold camping equipment.















The woodworking/gardening tool shed.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has been involved in the project, but especially Dave Bibby for all his hard work.

In a few weeks the guides should also have their shed in place next to our large shed.

Snail Race








Hi Everyone

Thank you to all those that sponsored a race or snail and bought tickets for the event. We could not have got more people into the hall.

Well what a night it was. Children were screaming with excitement, but the adults were really out doing them!!!!!!!!

We think that we can safely say that everyone had a really good night, and everyone went home with full tummies on food and wine.

Thank you to the Leaders (Mike, Marie, Phil, Alastair and Dave), Paul (Chairman), Christine (Bibby) and Nigel (Ford) for their support on the night we could not have done it without you.

If you would like a compare for your evening is seems we have a hidden talent in Chris Lawton our Treasurer!!!

A lot of people made a real effort in their dress for the evening, especially Allanne our Group Secretary (see photo below) and her family.
We raised just under £500 from this event towards the new camp mess tent and small gazebo.

Thank you once again, hopefully we can find something as exciting for October 2010.
