March Market Stall
We had tremendous success on Saturday 27th March with a whopping £653.70 raised.
Many thanks go to those who helped. To be mentioned in dispatches;Gareth for the bread, Kirstie for the raffle and getting the donations, the companies, parents and grandparent donating food, Jewson’s for the buckets, Derwent valley foods for the crisps and above all the parents, scouts, cubs and beavers who helped selling raffle tickets and sweets.
Headquarters closes on 31st July 2010
The Executive Committee have taken the decision that after 31st July 2010 no section meetings will take place in our current building. The decision was taken as it was felt that we could not guarantee the safety of the building for another autumn or winter.
This means that all sections will be meeting in alternative premises, for what we hope will be a short time. We will notify all parents before the summer holiday where the meetings will take place.
£2,000 from Grants for Groups for expedition equipment
1st Consett have been awarded £2,000 from Durham County Council,s Grants for Groups to buy equipment to help members take part in expeditions. The equipment consists of four lightweight tents, four rucsacs and four sets of expedition cooking equipment.
Group Treasurer Carol Smith said, “although we are working very hard raising money for a new headquarters, we must remember that we have over seventy members who still need equipment so they can continue to do all the activities which have made our Group so popular”.
