We are pleased the exams are over and we are back to full Explorer activity. We had an excellent cycle ride from Fritham. George planned a route on tracks and we all stopped for a lemonade before returning… it was great fun. The next week we headed out to Andrew’s Mare pond near Stoney Cross. …
Most people that know me and know me well, will say that I speak my mind. So when I say that for those of you unfortunates that weren’t able to attend the latest Scout and Guide Band Concert at St Mary’s Church you missed a great show; I mean you missed a great show! The …
