1st Pontygwaith Scout Group

There will be a Christmas party at the Scout hall.

More details and the times from John or Lynne.

We will then break for 2 weeks and return on the 8^th January 2010 all rested and have eaten too much.

We hope this is of help to you in order to arrange your busy schedules up until the new year, once again we would be very grateful for any help during the Christmas post because if leaders are not stressed after the post all other events will be a lot more relaxed and enjoyable.

Many Thanks for your co-operation so far this year, happy Christmas,

John and Lynne.

We have a Carol concert at Tylorstown Church, all Beaver, Cubs and Scout  are asked to attend as they will be taking part and Santa visits.

All family members are welcome, it is a lovely way to start Christmas.

Check with John for the correct times.

December 4^th,5^th and 6^th is our big weekend CHRISTMAS POST – this is the biggest weekend of the year for us and we usually sort and deliver approximately 16,000 cards, the money raised from this event cuts all costs during the scouting year therefore keeping your costs down and during the credit crunch EVERY LITTLE HELPS.

We ask that parents give some of their time, if only an hour or two on either one of the three days and/or by delivering your local area as leaders tend to shorten in height by at least 2inches during this time through all the walking they do.

No matter how little you can do or any family members  please see John with your availability and all help is very very gratefully received.

REMEBRANCE SUNDAY an important event in the year, we will attend a march, church and a small buffet in the club in Ynyshir,. Beaver, Cubs and Scouts are asked to try and attend this event.

For those Cubs/ Scouts  who attend this event we will be arranging a trip in the afternoon and only those who attend the Remembrance Service will be allowed to go.

Check with John for the correct times.

Bonfire night, we will be having a bonfire, fire works and hotdogs at the farm in Ynysybwl. All Beaver, Cubs and Scouts and their families are welcome. If you would like directions to the farm ask either John or Lynne, if transport is difficult we will try and help.

Check with John for the correct times.

Halloween Party at the hall.

Check with John for the times.
