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.
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.

Two new donations move us forward.
Whilst the building work has paused as we move from shell completion to fit-out, the team which is steering the construction of our new HQ has not. The next phase of work is being planned; this will see us able to start using the boat store -and the removal of the old green container. We have had two major boosts to the project recently, thanks to the generosity of local businesses.
Sheffield Insulations (www.sheffins.co.uk) are providing 600 sheets of plasterboard to line the walls and ceilings, creating the internal rooms. Our thanks go to them for their magnificent support.
We must also thank Barker Mills, who have donated £10,000 to the building fund, on top of their previous donations. This is a wonderful gesture and brings us a big step nearer to completion. Thanks to Karen for organizing this.
Our fund raisers are still busy and have launched two new initiatives which we are asking you to support.
