Tuesday 29th March 2011

Readers of The Chesterfield Post will recall that we featured 1st Calow Scouts will be travelling to Canada later this year.

As the time for the visit draws rapidly closer they will be holding a number of events to help reach the target.

Following some recent news on exchange rates and the information on rising costs in Canada (coming back from regular contact with friends in the 25th Nepean Scouts, Ontario), they are having to revise the target figure to enable those making the trip to enjoy all the activities originally intended.

The next few months are key to the success of the trip, it will be very hard work but organisers say they will give it everything to give the young people of the group the full benefit of this fantastic opportunity.

The group is holding a 'Pub Quiz' at the White Hart, Calow on Thursday 31st March, commencing at 8.30pm (see the poster below).

Entry is £3 per person, payable on the night to also include supper, kindly provided by The White Hart.

Please pop along and help make it a successful evening!
