Shavington has a monthly magazine called Village Voice. The latest Scouting contribution is shown below.
As I write this, the Leader Team is having a well-earned rest in the period between the end of one term and the start of the next. During the course of last term, we were pleased to welcome Nicola Moss, who will take up the appointment of Assistant Scout leader and Joe Rutland as Troop Assistant.
The latter half of the winter term is always particularly hectic in the run-up to Christmas. After a successful Fashion Show in mid-November, we had our winter weekend away at the end of November on the fringes of the Peak district, and Santa even paid us an early visit.
The Group helped the Round Table again with their Christmas charity door-to-door collection. Beavers and Cubs attended a joint District service in early December. This year it was our turn to perform the nativity, and those who took part gave a creditable and confident performance. An evening of bowling at Lakeside in Crewe was enjoyed by all as the term ended.
Our next fund-raising event will be a coffee morning at Nantwich Parish rooms on Saturday 6th March. If you are in town on that morning, come along and have a coffee with us!
Planning for this year's outdoor activities is in progress, and much ground work must be done indoors beforehand to ensure the youngsters are ready for camping, hiking, etc later in the year.
As always, details of all our activities can be found at www.shavingtonscouts.org.uk and if you would like to join us as an adult helper / leader please contact Jen Wilkinson on 01270 567548.
