June/July 2014
The Fog Horn Newsletter of the 1st Maidenhead Sea Scout Group Hello! The weather is finally on the turn - that means the sections are able to get outside more – not that it really stops them in the winter months! We have had a busy last few months – one of the reasons why the newsletter hasn’t been written since Feb. I hope to see you all at our Summer Fair & AGM on the 22nd June at the Scout Hut, and maybe even at Family Camp in September! Wayne - GSL *The Fire Circle has now been redone after the floods - bigger and better than the last one!
**Help Required** Longridge Tent Hire – July 16th & 18th 6.30pm Can YOU help?! Group Quiz We held another successful Quiz Night in March, with the winners of the last two beaten by a team of Sea Cubs parents! As normal the questions were suitable for most abilities and the practical rounds gave an extra edge to the competition.
We enjoyed the food, from Fry Days and drink from the Rebellion Brewery – who also gave us a couple of raffle prizes. Feedback has confirmed the event does what it should, and there is also interest for some other suggested evenings – watch this space!
Subs Congratulations to the Scout section who are again the best this term at the collection Subs! No reward this time as the other sections owe too much – PLEASE can I ask that you all keep up to date with the payment of Subs. Please remember that they need to be paid within the first couple of weeks in the term – we cannot plan ahead if we do not know how much we have to spend, please help us give the best programme we can by paying on time. Subs for Beavers are currently £36 and for all other sections are £48. Please send via bank transfer or set up a standing order in order (attached) to cut down on admin – Barclays Bank, 20-78-58, 30298875. Please put your child’s name and section as a reference.
