What a day for a Bank Holiday! After a nice early morning stroll along the beach to avoid the crowds we enjoyed a quiet breakfast in the conservatory before heading into Borth to man the stalls at the Borth Charities Fete.<\/p>\n
The turn-out from the Scouts was disappointing though. I know it’s half term, a Bank Holiday and the sun was shining, but we do expect some of the Scouts to be there in their uniforms looking smart and helping out with the stalls. As it turned out there were only three of them, and one of those was Morgan. Quite a shame really as it’s the Scouts themselves that the members of the community like to see, not us the leaders and I’m sure the place would have felt livelier with a few more children there too.<\/p>\n
There was only one\u00a0parent helper from our Scouts as well, Julie who always runs the kitchen selling bacon rolls, sandwiches, scones and drinks. She was helped by Siwsy (Explorer Leader) whilst\u00a0Anna and myself (Scout Leaders) Morgan (Scout) and Cira (the Cub & Beaver leader) ended up running the plant stall, book stall, gingerbread man decorating stall and the paint a bag stall. We also had a tombola which was manned by\u00a0Anne (Explorer helper)\u00a0and a couple of Beaver parents.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
