Loads of Cubs, Leaders and Parents at St Jamesā Methodist church tonight to sing Carols and give gifts for SCRATCH charity.

Cenotaph and Poppies
Posted on Tuesday, November 14th, 2017
Thank you to those of you who joined the parade at the Cenotaph on Sunday morning, especially as it was so cold and breezy. We were a small group but I know our presence was appreciated by the public by the amount of applause we received in the march past.
A special mention for the four Beaver Scouts who joined us. They were so well behaved, and smart and even though they were cold, they did not show it. Thanks also to the Leader and two Scouts from the 9th who laid the wreath on behalf of the Scouts. Well done.
Thank you also everyone who sold poppies in Waitrose on behalf of the British Legion. Members of Active Support, The District Team and the 7th Cubs and the 13th Group members sold poppies Monday to Saturday from 9 am. to 7 pm. each day.
I will circulate the amount collected when British Legion tells me.
Thank you everyone who supported these two important events.
George Longhurst
Active Support
