Thank You!
A huge thank you goes out to everyone who supported and helped out at our Scouts Xmas Market and Carols sing a long yesterday evening. A great night was had with a very festive feel and some much needed fundraising was done! (Peak is looking a bit cheaper now!) We'll plan for some more fundraising activities in early 2010 - any fresh ideas gratefully recieved.
Well done scouts for all your hard efforts to make this evening a success.

REMEMBER _ final 'party patrol leaders' evening next week and then we meet the following week on Monday 21st December for the christmas panto at the Pomegranate theatre. Please meet at 6.40pm outside the main entrance (those who have already paid for a ticket - its pre-paid tickets only).

Here's hoping you all get what you wished for this christmas and you have a very happy new year too!

IT'S CHRISTMAS!
(well nearly) and Tuesday 8th December is our Christmas fare and sing a long! Come and bag a bargain, loads of stalls with gifts for sale - bird boxes, wind chimes, cards, decorations, tags, glass wear, tombola, books, jewellery , refreshments & more! The scouts have been very very busy getting very creative and have put in a huge amount of effort making items and collecting raffle prizes and unwanted items to sell- please come along and support them in this their fund raising mission. We will be having a few festive carols too to set everyone off in a jolly christmas mood, so bring your earplugs ha ha ha - We look forward to seeing you - everyone welcome, you don't have to be a member of the group, bring your friends, neighbours and relatives - Its suitable for all!

ALSO remember to sign and bring along your flyer as it will be entered into our prize draw and both you and the scout who gave you the flyer will be in with a chance of getting a prze!

I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Marg, Claire, Sarah, Pete and Tony who all spared their time and knowledge in helping with the scouts creative efforts- it was very much appreciated.


PATROL LEADERS GO MAD!
The following Tuesday (15th December) is our last troop meeting of the year and has been planned by the Patrol Leaders - Martin, Harvey, Ella & Hayley. They have requested that you attend in non-uniform with very silly hair!!! Also bring some goodies to eat as we will be having a festive fuddle along with their fun and games.


REMEMBER - IT'S BEHIND YOU!
We are off to the Panto at the Pomegranate Theatre soon too (full details will be given at our last meeting) so you lucky scouts who bought a ticket will be finishing off your 2009 scouting in true 1st Whittington style - being very silly, loud and having fun!

Here's hoping you all have a great christmas and very happy new year (phew! us leaders can have a bit of a rest now!) We'll see you in the new year - Our first meeting is Tuesday 5th January

All the best
