Cub Quiz Team Victorious!

2nd Otley romped to victory last week in the annual Cub Quiz event held at Curly Hill Campsite in Ilkley.

Competing against 7 other Cub Packs, 2nd Otley finished with an impressive score of 74 out of 100, 8 points better than their second placed rivals!

Congratulations go to the winning team of Samuel, Ingrid and Jonas.

The winning team are in discussions with producers of Mastermind as they continue their search to find a team capable of challenging our knowledgeable trio!

Just a quick reminder that we will be holding a working party in the new building this Saturday between 9am until 3pm. We'd be grateful for any help from parents, even if only for an hour or two. We have a number of jobs for the working party including glossing doors and wood work, constructing   storage shelves, laying insulation and boarding out the upstairs storage area. If any one has any of the following tools and equipment, we'd be grateful if they could be brought to the working party on Saturday:

Happy New Year to you all. I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year break. A quick note about Cubs for the start of 2012.

Cub Meetings

Cub meetings will resume this evening, Thursday 5th January, at the usual time of 6:45 until 8:15pm.

This week's Cub meeting

There is a Cub meeting tomorrow night. At the Scout hut starting at 6:45, finishing at 8:15.

Christmas Good Turn

The Cubs will be taking part in their annual good turn with a visit to Spring Garden's residential home on Monday 19th December. Please meet at the Scout hut for the usual time of 6:45pm. The Cubs will be walking to Spring Gardens so please ensure your child is suitably dressed and wearing hat and gloves. Cubs will need to be wearing their uniforms.

We will finish at the usual time of 8:15pm. Please arrange to collect your child from Spring Gardens which is at the following address:

Westbourne Grove, Otley, Leeds, LS21 3LJ  map

Group Camp reminders

As a reminder, we're meeting at the Scout hut at 6:15pm on Friday. Cubs need to have their evening meal before they arrive. Make sure they have good strong footwear (I'd strongly suggest either walking boots or wellington boots) as it will be very wet under foot with all the rain we've had this week. We'll be going off paths so we're bound to encounter some particularly muddy spots.

Also, hats and gloves will be essential for this weekend given the recent fall in temperature. Please make sure your child has plenty of warm clothing on for the walk on Friday.

Any questions, please let me know.

I forgot to thank all those parents and Cubs who came to the working party on Saturday to help decorate the new Chevin Community Centre. We were very grateful for all your help with the decorating effort. The building is really taking shape and looks fantastic after the work that was done on Saturday.

Pre-launch evening

From next week, the two meeting rooms in the new building will be in use for our weekly Cub meetings.

A number of people were asking about Group Camp at last night's meeting. We still have spaces for Cubs to join the camp so if your child would like to attend, please complete the attached permission form. A covering letter with further details about the camp is also attached. We have a lot of the Cubs attending the weekend camp and I expect the Cubs will have an enjoyable time away with the Cub Pack.

Subscriptions

Please find attached a letter from our treasurer about an increase in subs. The increase to £10 is effective from 1st November 2011.
