I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported our jumble sale which was held on November 16.

As in recent times, the event was another successful fundraising opportunity with over £800 being raised.

Without the support of those who kindly donate, those who put time in sorting, setting up on the day, and just as importantly our customers, we would not be able to raise this amount of money.

The funds raised will go towards the normal day to day operating costs of scouting, for which, in addition to subscriptions paid by parents, we need to raise money to fund activities involving the parents and young members themselves.

Our next fundraising event will be a fashion show on Friday, November 29, in Sidford Village Hall at 7.30pm. Please call 01395 515552 for more information.
