Barn Dance - Sept 20th 2008
Over 60 Parents, Scouts, Cubs, Beavers and Explorers from the Group
enjoyed an evening of music and dancing at the Barn Dance. The
dance was held at the 8th Worcester's hut instead of our own as it is larger
and allowed space for tables as well as a large dance floor. A fine
Ploughman's supper was provided along with the ever-popular "Pudding Club"
which provided a varied array of deserts. Thanks go to all who attended and
all who organised this fun event. |

Goodbye Russ, hello Darren - Aug 1st 2008
Russ Moseley has stepped down from Scout Leader to Assistant Scout Leader
from 1st August. The position of Scout Leader is being taken by Darren Hill.
Darren was once a Scout at the 5th and has been involved with the Scout
Fellowship for many years. Many thanks to Russ for his years as SL and
hopefully he won't get any funny ideas and try and turn us into Air Scouts
(he's joined the RAF). |
