St. George’s Day

A reminder that this year’s St. George’s Day is on Sunday 13. April and this year it is taking place in Onchan. Letters are available from all Leaders and can also be downloaded from the Group Website.

Onchan Village Fair

We will again be having a Fund Raising Bottle Stall at this year’s Onchan Village Fair (set for the 5. May 2008 at the Youth & Community Centre). We are therefore looking for donations of bottles and jars for the stall. If every member of the Group is able to donate one bottle or jar (all unopened please). Then that should ensure a good profit on the day. Donations can be dropped at the Scout Hall during any meeting from now until the 2. May.

Group Fun Day

The Group is holding a Group Fun Day on Sunday 22. June 2008. This will involve a trip on the Steam Train to Castletown, with activities in Pulson Park, followed by a Barbeque afterwards. Letters will be going out nearer the time.

Scout Hall Improvements

The new lighting in the hall has now been fitted and this is a vast improvement on the old lighting. Further improvements to the Building include refurbishment of the boys toilet and painting the hall.

Group Website

The Group Website now has an active News Page. Any member can submit an item to be added to the News Page. It could be a report on an activity, information about an upcoming event, or just a Scouting Photo. Send them in to 2ndonchan@manx.net .

2007 Badges

Some members still haven’t removed their 2007 Centenary Badges. These should have been taken off uniform by the 1. January 2008. If you still have one on, please remove it as soon as possible.
