Dear Parents/Carers 

It’s time for another update on our group – and I am sure you will be pleased to hear that work was started on the Headquarters’ repairs last weekend and already a great deal has been achieved – very encouraging for us all.  Work will be undertaken this coming weekend, with most of the major structural repairs hopefully being finished.  There will of course then be the electrics to replace, and the internal ceilings, and walls to repair, re-plaster, paint and generally make good.   With this good news in mind, the next fund raising events are coming up in December. 

The first one is: TOWN DAY – SATURDAY 6^TH DECEMBER  FROM 9AM We usually take a stall on Christmas Town Day, and this year we will be doing so again.  We are going to keep things really simple and stick to a Sweet Tombola, an ordinary Tombola, and maybe a Raffle.  Sooooo – as always we are asking for your help – please could you bring in jam-jars filled with sweets and goodies, and any bits suitable for a Raffle/Tombola.  These can be bought in on any Friday until 5^th December and given to your group leader.  We will also need help on the day, and I will be putting up the rota nearer the time. 

 The second event is for the Lions – CHRISTMAS FOOD APPEAL - We will again be supporting Burgess Hill District Lions with their annual Christmas Food Appeal - they are asking for donations of dried or tinned food and goodies suitable for christmas. These items will be distributed amongst the local elderly and needy. This is an extremely good cause. Donations can be brought in on any Friday before 12th December when the food will be handed over to the Lions Club.

Once again a huge thank you for your support of 5^th Burgess Hill Scout Group from all the Leaders and Committee.
