Walesby Family Camp

Well this weekend was the planned family camp weekend at Walesby Scout Campsite. However because of all the bad weather we have been having recently, and the forecast bad weather for this weekend we decided earlier in the week to cancel the camp. This was mainly because a lot of the parents had never been on a camping trip before and what we didn't want was a repeat performance of the camp for the scouts, where everyone was soaked for the weekend!! So what happens? We get the best weekend weather of the year. Anyway we still ran with an activity day which we have just got back from. We had a good turnout of Scouts, Beavers and Cubs along with parents. A full range of activities included, archery, shooting, crate stacking, climbing and the one I enjoyed the most the raft building. Me and Padge have been taking photographs all day of various activities and personalities, so once Padge has sent me a copy of his images, i'll put together a slideshow and load it on here. No rush Padge, tonight will be fine..!!! Just joking, first thing in the morning will suffice..!! Thanks go out to everyone who made the effort in attending and making it a thoroughly enjoyable day, and also to Sue (Akela) for a lot of behind the scenes work in getting it all arranged, and everyone else who helped out. You all know who you are. Thank you.
