Hampton Explorers

Just a reminder that the last meeting of this term (party games and food/drink) will be on Monday 15th December – and the DofE presentations will also be on that evening.

The first meeting of 2015 will be on Monday 5th January.

Many thanks for a great turnout today – we had 30 of you and many more took part in other parades in the local area.

It would be great to think we could get all of you to take part in the next St George’s Day parade in April – try and keep the date free it should be on Sunday 26th April 2015.

Maybe next year they might even remember that we are explorers and not 2nd Hampton Scouts or the Guides!!

Don’t forget we are taking part in the Remembrance Day Parade in Hampton on Sunday 9th November. Smart uniform please. Check emails and facebook for timings.

You are expected to take part!!

Many thanks to all of those that helped on Sunday in selling programmes, clearing up etc. We won’t know how much we raised for a while yet – if you’ve got programme sales monies to bring in please do so ASAP.

Here is a link to a youtube video of the event – some of you feature (expecially those on the powerbocks!!)

Also, as you should know Sedan Chair rally is cancelled – but there is a Foresetry Course on the same weekend – information in the camps section.

We start back at explorers on Monday 1st September – make sure you read the email and bring your subs and forms to this meeting.

Remember, to come along and support this event – we need help selling programmes on the day and with clearing up afterwards. This will be a fantastic community event and an opportunity to raise lots of money towards the redevelopment of our kitchen.

Please come down to the HQ beforehand to collect some programmes for sale (times and dates as per recent email from Nigel). If you haven’t had an email or want some more programmes please call Nigel on 07715760400 to ask for more.

Also, call Nigel to let him know how you plan to help on the day!!

Remember – we need your support!!

Just a quick note to say that we will start back next term on Monday 1st September – so that we can plan for the Transport Gala (7th September) as we need help from everyone (explorers and parents) on the day to help us raise as much money as possible!!

There will also be some work to do on the HQ over the summer trimming the trees etc – so when you see the notes please come on down and help out!!

Have a good summer!!

Videos now on Flickr of utter chaos that ensues when you mix Explorers and Space Hoppers!!
