Well done everyone that turned out today to do some weeding! Some life lessons from the field (imho etc... ) A low productivity/low pay economy is fun for less than a day :( - do your GCSEs well! There is some satisfaction to be had in a job well done and if a jobs worth doing well, its worth being paid for and its worth finishing well! Thanks to everyone that turned out and worked well to the end of their shift!
A lot of weed is a very bad thing!
and very muddy...
Finally, we have a special muscle for weeding that only makes itself known on days like today :) ... at least it seems I have! Have a great summer, and lets be bouncy tomorrow!
For those that have confirmed their tickets for or end of term Bounce, here are the forms! (No form no bounce) Note dress code! Clothes cover arms and legs, trainers that cover toes... It wont cost you anything but you need to have paid subs (several of you have not done so yet!!!) and there is a snack bar/drinks machine yo may wish to avail yourselves of... Come fed (or with a pack lunch)
We did a recce to check out the weed field and it all looks quite do-able. (and apparently fun!)
We will meet at the field (on the corner of Shotatton) at 10:00am on Sat 22 July - bring a picnic and there will be bribes for each row weeded. Should be finished about 3pm? We can play it by ear a bit...
Meanwhile a big thank you to all the explorers that turned out to help paint and refresh the hut! It's our hut too and always good to give back a bit... Stock up some karma as our Nepali friends would have it! (and the BBQ was nice) :)
Here's a poll to choose when we do the Bronze DofE practice expedition! (sorry about the adds - they come with the widget) Please check all possible dates (not just your preference) as we need to find a date that all 7 of you can do!
The end of the year is upon us and the weather set fair, so I thought we should seize the moment and BBQ at my house to celebrate the dawning of a long hot summer... We will meet at the usual time at my house, feast on summer fare, and plan our expeditions...
A long time ago in a galaxy far way our Hut received it first coat of paint and set out on a journey to finally come to rest in Boreatton. Since that distant time the paint has faded and our Hut is showing it's age. This coming Sunday 16th July we would like to invite you and any adult helpers [parents and grow-up family] to join us in a Big Day of painting and decorating. We will have a pay-as-you-eat BBQ running through the day, so please bring a little cash for a burger. All funds raised will help with the costs of the re-paint. For all Scouts, Beavers and Cubs who turn up and muck in to help you will be in line for the DIY activity badge. Please wear old clothes as you will get paint dripped!! If any parent can spare some additional time on Saturday [15th] 10 - 4 to help with wall preparation and painting you would be very welcome. Please let Pete or Phil know if you can attend either of the days to help with planning and materials. Thank you all in advance for helping look after the Hut, she needs a little Hug!
