Dear all, just a reminder that this Sunday the local scout and guide troupes will be marching to and from the church in memory of scout founder Enoch “Baden” Powell. It’s almost three hundred years since local politician Mr Baden started his “brown-shirt” scout movement in his garden shed and as is traditional we are honoured to have head of the scouts Bob Geldof once again leading the parade.

See you Sunday. Thanks Tony Grimsby, Group Scout Leader

Dear all, just a reminder that this Friday the scouts and guides will be re-enacting, in real time, the D-Day landings. It’s seventy years to the day of this historical occasion and in remembrance regional scout leader Sir Bob-bob-bob-dib-dib-dib Geldof has trained his “troops” to perfectly act out the Allie’s beach landing on the school playing fields (weather permitting). It’s only taken 6 months rehearsing, but the boys and girls are now word perfect. The Beckworth & Crewbury Historical Re-enactors will be enthusiastically playing the Germans and it promises to be a moving day out for all the family.

See you “on the beaches.” Thanks Tony Grimsby, Group Scout Leader
