5-a-side football:

 

Good contest and well supported. The runner up plate was a good idea and encouraged more to stay to the end of the competition.

 

District Fishing Competition:

 

There will be a District fishing competition this year for Cubs and Scouts on 19^th September at 5-ways Lakes. This will be a Miller trophy scoring event. Drawing for pegs will be at 11:00 with the fishing from 12:00. Fishing will end at 16:00 and the presentation will be at 16:30. Over 13’s need a rod license but Paul Merchant can arrange this if required – contact Paul by email if this is wanted.  Cost will be £3 per peg.

 

Malvern Challenge:

 

We need someone to coordinate the district entry for next year as Tony is unable to do it.  The suggestion is to book in as individual groups but camp as a District although this will mean we have to do more duties.

 

Camping / Cooking Competition:

 

Teams need to be at 5 Ways Lakes by 09:00 when the areas will be allocated, each team will have an area of approx. 10 x 30m.  Cost will be £3.75 camp fee + cost of breakfast food, individual teams will need to have their £2 per head + £2 for the evening meal as well. Cost for adults will be £6.50 including food.  The camping sites will be cleared by 14:00 on Sunday.

District Camp 2009:

 

This was generally a good event.  The general consensus was that maybe it could have been better organised by grouping activities by physical location to reduce the time spent walking between bases.

DC’s Input:

 

The date for this years Ghost Hunt needs to be changed to avoid clashing again with JOTA/JOTI.
