Quizzically Challenged?

We had a good evening at the three horse shoes pub testing our mental faculties on Sunday (5/4/1998). It was also good to catch up on some gossip. You won’t know what you miss until you attend.

Give Us Your Cash!

Those who haven’t paid subs (£11.50 for non-leaders, donations for leader) please pay up or no fellowship card and so no events like the Gathering. Give your cash to Uggi or Ray Lamb. All cheques made payable to Hertford and District Scout Fellowship.

And now there are three!

Jo Gray has kindly (stupidly?) agreed to be the secretary for our hallowed movement. It doesn’t look like I’m going to get all the personal services I deserve as Chairman from my secretary though. We are also about to get a bank account, all hail to the Fellowship who have been very helpful in the arrangements.

Fun, Fun, Fun!

The pub crawl is on, its just moved to the 18th of April. It starts at 7.30pm prompt at the Three Tuns pub. A drink in each watering hole is required. The pub crawl will be decided by drawing pubs out of a hat so the walk will be a bit random (except we aren’t going to the Firkin!) Eat before hand. Your pub meister will be Iain who is well qualified. Contact Trudy or use the uggphone.

Food, Food, Food!

Well it got your attention! A weekend camp at Harmer Green has been organised for the 23-24th of May. Basically turn up for 10.30-11.00 am on the Saturday. We will set up the camp in the morning, have lunch (bring a packed lunch) work in the afternoon, have a BBQ (and probably a few tins) and then work Sunday morning before going home. Out of the kindness of our hearts and the depths of our cash reserves if you work at Harmer Green you will BBQ for free, although bring your own beer. You can camp if you wish, or turn up and work and go home. The cost (if you work) zero quid.. Yes zero quid.. Exactly what work we will be doing on improving the site is unclear, but the event is open to everyone and especially the Venture Scouts who can put this work towards their Queen Scout award. This is Trudy’s baby, phone her as she will need to know numbers for foodies..

Judge, Jury and Executioner!

A great opportunity has arisen where you can be evil and sadistic to Scouts. On request from the Scouts section we have been asked to help out on the judging (and perhaps perform executions as necessary) of the British Legion cup competion at Woodhall park (near Watton-at-Stone) on the 5-7th of June. Details are a little sketchy at present, but we can camp and there will be some cost for food. This could be quite fun. You could of course just turn up during the day and not camp. All the Fellowship would be welcome to taste food, prod camp gadgets and order searchs for thrown away food..This is a job for the uggphone.

Help! I need someone..

No, even Uggi is not that desparate, but Andrew Mayor ADC Scouts is! He is looking for a “helper” to go down to Letty Green Scouts on a Friday night once every two weeks or so. He would be grateful. You don’t need a warrent card, just make sure you are not a maniac child killer as you will need to be police approved. This is a valued way of giving service. Ring the uggphone or Andrew direct.

Luck of the Irish.

Finally Chris Searle, supreme leader of the District is trying to get a camp to Ireland going during August. It will cost £150-200, but please give Chris a bell if you are interested.
