Scout Summer Fete – 13th of June 2009
We would like to thank all of those who attended our annual scout summer fete. To compliment the fantastic weather, we made over £750! We would also like to thank GLD Dancing who preformed an impressive dance routine throughout the fete which no doubt impressed all of those who attended! The bouldering wall which we introduced this year has proved to be a hit with the younger ones, and we’ll make sure that it returns next year! Congratulations to everyone who won a prize on our raffle.
