Every year currently is great to look forward to the great things we have in the pipeline and every year it seems to get bigger and better than before. This doesn’t happen by magic. Call it community, call it anything you like but weekly Scout meetings and its public events are produced by a relatively small team of people and id like to take this opportunity to say Thank you to all the parent helpers, the Uniformed and the non-uniformed team for making Rolleston Scout Group (RSG), perform at the standard that it does.
This year is looking great. Over the last part of 2017 and into 2018 all the sections were busy planning their spring and summer program and updating the calendar (daily) with sleepover dates, camp kit requests and lots more so be ready for some tired Beavers, Cubs and Scouts quite soon.
One of the more recent things we have done was to provide IT support. Let’s be honest the Children mostly know more than us about IT, so the WI asked us could we find some Scouts to help some of the ladies use their tablets and smartphones more effectively. This was jumped at by quite a few of the scouts and it was a lovely night (with tea and cake of course), a real example of village organisations working together.
Another organisation we have supported is the Burton Round table on the local Santa runs in Tutbury and Stretton. This not only raises money for the sections that helped but also for many Charites in burton that the Round table support throughout the year.
Our large public events we like to call (The Big 3) may soon be the Big 4, but more on that later in the year. Carnival takes place on Sunday 20th May in the form officially of a Circus. We are being joined by some top-class performers to keep you entertained together of course with the traditional parade of floats in throughout the village is a day not to be missed.
Rollestonbury is back and this year celebrates its 10th Birthday. We have now confirmed the acts, The Shane Nolan band and Jump. Tickets will go on sale exclusively on-line later in the year and all info is available on our website, and Bonfire Night will take place 3rd November.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this report.
