Community service

We are not just a youth club and so our programme involves an element of community service too. It's time for our regular citizens advice work to survey the towns chip shops, recognise the best, and advise the community on where they can get their chips... (see the tab at the top of the blog!)

We will meet in Shrewsbury Market Square early at 7:30 and judge the towns chip resources. Wear some identification as a Boreatton explorer and (if you want to be bribed...) a Chipadvisor Judge badge! Finish and pick up from the square at 9:00.

Skills for life

With global changes and challenges it seems worth considering how many of us around the globe have to live - a significant percentage of the world has to live on less than £1 a day! As a global trading nation in the G7 we dont need to worry about that (most of us anyway) but if Boris has his way rather more of us might need those skills...

My daughter is off to uni and these days society chooses not to help students as much as it used, so I thought we could see how we might fare on £1 for one day. We will provide a shop and see what you can cook up for a (notional) £1 - no cheating! Do not stuff yourselves with Maccy D's before our meeting - come hungry and we will see if we can survive!

Bring mess kit.

Winter is coming...

… just not quite yet! 

As is traditional we will start on the second Thursday of term ('cos I cannot keep control on the first Thursday as you are all still too excited to be back at school).

See you next week! I will post some camp activity stuff here soon as some things need to be booked very early in term.
