Heyy guys I have had a very busy week since I last posted. I've had my leavers day, leavers assembly, leavers hoodie, read through the minutes from my fundraising groups meeting which took place on Monday and had my first exam today which was overly stressful. But it's done just got Biology, Chemistry and PE to go this week. Yay... not...
So talking about my fundraising group, we got offered to be given money towards Japan if we attended a Church Tidy Up at Holy Trinity Church in Prestwood. Our jobs consisted of chopping down overhanging trees, putting the fallen trees and branches onto the bonfire and moving some pretty heavy stones to become part of a curb in the car park.
We started with the trees that were overhanging the container that held oil and one of our unit members' leaders had to crack a Christmas joke when it's nearly summer. He started singing "No-oil, no-oil, no-oil, no-oil, born in the king of Israel". I dumbly didn't get it at first and then remembered the carol Noel. Here are some pictures of us chopping and moving the trees and braches.
So after a small break for a refreshing drink and a biscuit or two we all got back to work moving the rest of the chopped down branches to the bonfire pile. We then moved onto the next task.
The next task was moving some very heavy stones across the car park to become part of a curb. We used ropes to pick up the stones and place them on rollers we made out of the chopped down holly tree. The rollers worked very well at first until they lost their bark. We managed to get the first one over to the curb using this method but for the second one we used two ropes and picked the stone up with five of us. We moved the second stone much faster and got it in place. Here are some pictures of us moving the stones.
So after a fun 2 hours of helping the church we all left and went home, I had revision to do for Monday. We all had fun helping and were thankful to the lovely people who provided us with refreshments which were lovely.
So as you guys may have figured out I have now started my GCSE exams so am revising furiously which leaves little time to post. However I will try to post on Mondays like I said.
Before I finish I like to let you guys know that you can help my fundraising group from wherever you are. All and any help would be appreciated massively. We have set up a EasyFundraising group. This means whenever you want to buy something online you can search the website for example Ebay in the search bar on the easyfundraising website to see if they will make a donation for our charity when you buy something from them. For more information click on the EasyFundraising link above ^
It's simple, easy and really help us. The name of our group/cause is Chiltern North Scouts - Jamboree Fund 2015. Even if you only raise £2 all donations help.
So I'll try and post again on Monday and check out my new Get Involved page. See you Monday!
