Coming second in the The Boot Trophy (and only 8 minutes behind the winners!).




A massive congratulations to all who took part - everyone who attempted the walk this year completed it, which is a first, and we had a team complete in daylight, which threw some of our organisation into disarray somewhat (apologies to all who helped on the Checkpoint for the lack of fuel for the generator for an hour or so after it got dark - oops).

Congratulations also go to those members of Intrepid who took part in the junior Chase Walk (the winning team there had three members of Intrepid in!), those Scouts from Buckholt (who formed the rest of the winning team amongst others) and from Glyn who took part in the Junior Chase Walk (and who all completed it).

Also mentioned in dispatches need to be the teams who completed the Chase Walk from Drake ESU (one of whom came second in The Rock Trophy), from Mallory ESU, from Simpson ESU, and the Leaders Teams from Buckholt and 6th Shirley.

All told - a top weekend. Thanks guys.

Tonight's Programme

We’re at HQ tonight, at normal time for the main bit of the Programme (but see the note above for details of tonight’s DofE drop-in). You’ll need uniform, and we’re running a Trading Post.

We’re also planning to go to the Circus next Thursday instead of Ice Skating - let us have a Comment as to whether you think that this is a good idea or not, or if we should offer both?

You’ll need uniform. And
PLEASE bring back compasses and stuff, ‘cause the Chase Walk people really will need them....

Chase Walk Kit List

After Thursday’s slight technical hitch with the Handbooks (Andy left them at home...), the kit list part is now in the Documents section. And Andy promises to bring the real things up on Thursday!

Bring our Stuff Back!

If you have any of our equipment at home, please (PLEASE!) remember to bring it up tonight.

Compasses, maps, map cases, reflective jackets, platypuses, head torches, bivvy bags - they’re all missing at the moment - and we’re going to need them for the Chase Walk - which is only a couple of weeks away.

(We’ll be giving out the Chase Walk info. tonight).

Poor, Lost, Chase Walk Souls, Wandering the Earth for Eternity...

...Well - they might be if they don’t have any compasses. Which they won’t have at the moment, ‘cause they’re all in your bedrooms. Can we have them back please, ASAP - as there’s about £600 worth currently with you lot (these things ain’t cheap!).

Cheers,

Andy
