Spring Term 2011 Newsletter
Welcome back, we hope you all had a great Christmas break. At Beavers we are starting our Spring programme and are looking forward to a number of fun activities. Please check the programme for details on where we’ll be meeting.
Last term we welcomed Arun Foster, Gianluca Farina, Edward Hall Bleackley, Issac Waring and Dylan Waring to our Colony and we waved a fond farewell to our eldest Beavers as the swam up to Cubs.
We will endeavor to run a normal programme this term, but with James and Tim leaving, Nikki and I will be running the colony jointly. Due to pressures of work on both our parts we may not be able to run all meetings,we may only be able to give a few hours notice.We would therefore encourage you to consider if you or someone you know would be willing to go into uniform, either for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts or in a managerial role; as at present lack of uniformed Leaders threatens the survival of the whole group. St John`s Scout Group celebrated its 25th anniversary last year and we all look forward to the next 25 years!
We also have a number of special events happening this year to celebrate Beavers 25th Birthday. Please make a note of these dates and look out for more information nearer the time.
Saturday 29th January - Beaver Fancy Dress party 2-5pm Swindon Road Scout Hut.
Theme Silver. Party games, food and disco cost £5.00 per Beaver.
Sunday 17th April - St George`s Day Parade and renewal of Promise.
Subs are now due and remain at £25 per Term, online payments only. These need to be paid promptly in January, please
As always the success of our programme depends greatly on those leaders and parents who give their time and energy to the Colony – we’re very grateful for your help, and I know the Beavers are too!
Yours in Scouting
