Derrick and Shirley Say Goodbye
AFTER NINE YEARS, Derrick and Shirley Smith have decided to hang up their Beaver Scout Woggles. The work of the two Leaders was celebrated at the recent Family Quiz night.
Boat store progress
A few people have been very busy over the last few weeks getting some traction on the work needed to get the boat store into operation. From a bare shell as the starting point, the tasks involve insulating the walls and ceiling, then boarding/dry-lining them, in parallel with doing the electrical first fix for the building, taking cabling through and into the boat store. We also need a partition wall to separate the wet boat store from the dry camping equipment store, with associated doorway and fire escape stairs.
Eling - A cut above the rest
If you go down in the woods today .......
ARMED WITH SAWS, LOPPERS AND A SHREDDER TO DIE FOR, a group of our volunteers and young members descended on a house in Lyndhurst recently for three days. Their mission - to clear the garden of years of growth - and to earn the Group some more funds into the bargain. As the Rhodedenrons, trees, brambles and undergrowth fell victims to our efforts, more and more of the propert was revealed. An old cottage, two vehicles, boats, trailers, and a caravan that had seen better days, saw sunlight for the first time in many years.
Family Quiz Night - A great success
The recent Family Quiz night proved to be a great success with over £400 raised from the Quiz and sale of refreshments at the District 6-a-side football competition earlier in the day.
