Welcome! |

Welcome to the first of our Group Newsletters. If all goes well we hope to issue a newsletter every couple of months to keep you informed of future activities happening within the group, and reviews of events that have already taken place. As this is YOUR newsletter we have also added a "Section News" area. This area is for all sections to comment on any achievements they have achieved over the last few months. So dont keep it to yourself, let us all know! The Editor |

Firework Night |
||
Saturday 28th
October Once again the bad weather stuck but it didnt seem to bother the bargin hunters. In total we raised £92.40 Thanks again to the faithful few who helped arrange, set up and run this worthwhile event. |
Friday 3rd
November The evening was a great success thanks to all the parents who donated fireworks and for the hard work put in by the people who helped. The group raised £106.84 due to this event. The only disappointment was the lack of attendance compared to past years. Lets hope we can do better next year. |

Remembrance Sunday |
|||
Sunday 16th November Many thanks to all the boys, parents and leaders who braved the cold and attended the Remembrance Sunday service at St Margarets Church. We had 35 representing our group in total, which was very pleasing to see. Those who attended said that it was a very nice service and didnt go on too long. Thanks again. |
