District Swimming Gala - 7 November

Here's advance notice of a couple of events coming up in early November:

7 November - District Swimming Gala

This is a very popular not-to-be-missed event for all sections, which this year is being held at Wombwell Baths on the evening of Saturday 7 November. There are competitive races for Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers, and for Beavers there's a fun swim. Everyone who turns up will have an opportunity to swim.

8 November - Remembrance Sunday Church Parade

This is one of two church parades in the year where we ask for and expect a full turnout, the other is the St. George's Day Parade in April. This church parade is for Cubs, Scouts and Explorers only. We will be meeting, as usual, at 10.15am and expect to finish by 11.45am.

More details will follow, but please put these dates in your diary.

Lock'n'Load Sleepover - 27 November

We are planning a Scout Sleepover on Friday 27 November. On the Friday evening we will be going to Lock'n'Load, the new laser scope entertainment centre in Rotherham, before returning to the Scout Hut for a sleepover. The event will finish at 12 noon on the Saturday. The cost will be £15 including admission to Lock'n'Load, supper and breakfast.

Any Scouts wishing to go must bring a £5 non-returnable deposit next week, so that we can secure the Lock'n'Load booking.

BOWLING NIGHT

We need to know THIS THURSDAY if you are going.

PANTOMIME

A reminder to let Kim know if you need a ticket for the panto. Time is running out.

CROSS COUNTRY

On Sunday 18th the District Cross Country event for all sections will be held at Silverwood Scout Site. Please meet in suitable running wear at 12 for registration. Parents will need to stay with their children as the event will end anytime after 2, depending upon the number who turn up. There are races for each age group and prizes for winners. Beavers and Cubs, please let Kim know this week if you will be going or not. Thanks.

Summer Camp Update

By now all cubs, scouts and explorers should have received a letter about next year's Summer Camp, which is at Blackwell Adventure. If you haven't had a letter, or you've lost it, please ask for a copy.

We've had a very good initial response so far. There are just 6 places left on the first two minibuses. Once these are taken, we will take names for a third minibus but these places will be provisional, as we need to fill more than half the seats for it be economically viable.

Also, we still have a few items of lost luggage from the last Summer camp. If you haven't already looked through them can you please do so next week. This is your last chance - they will be thrown out if they are not claimed.

Reminder: Church Parade this Sunday, 10.15am at the Scout Hut, Full Uniform.
