Fun With Forms!

Recently, our Venturer unit hit the town in a game of ‘Fun With Forms’. The aim of the game is to get as many points as possible. Points are awarded for pictures taken in front of specified places or things such as The Beehive or Readings Cinemas with the whole team and a bench, or ‘form’ in the photo. Points are deducted if the team is caught on camera by a leader and they are not all sitting on the form. It is somewhat of a tradition in this group and like every other time, a fun night was had by all.

Concrete Working Bee

A BIG thank you for the great turnout for last weekend’s working bee.
 
It turned into a real family day –mums and dads and scouts working together –and pizza in the sun for those still shifting clay late in the afternoon.

We managed to transfer two cubic metres of concrete from the truck to post holes and our new storage pads under the porch in 40 minutes.  How is that for team work!! And then we shifted a vast amount of clay by trailer to the tip. It became a long but very productive day for some.
 
This is a major step forward and Terry and I feel very supported after a pretty intense week preparing everything for the pour.
 
By the end of the school holiday you should see the  bearers and joists in place ready for decking to go down.
 
Keep an eye out for the next working bee
 
Thanks everyone
 
Rex and your committee

Zealandia Sleepover 8th April

We held our first Zealandia sleepover on 8 April. The Zealandia team commented on how good our kids were, and their ability to walk round quietly as night fell meant they were able to see three kiwis in the wild – a real highlight.

In addition, they saw heaps of tuataras, kakariki and many other of the native birds. Sounds like Harry could have done without seeing the wetas in the cave though!

We have another sleepover group heading to Zealandia this Friday night so we look forward to hearing of more adventures.
