You may already have heard that I will be taking over from Grant as the new section leader of the 31st Brighton Cub Scouts.
Mandy Walsh will be continuing to assist in the running of the pack and Nigel Dengate will be there to keep us all in order. We have also managed to cajole some more volunteers to help out.
The other new faces that you will see each week are Steve and Ghyllan Farley whose son Samuel is moving up from Beavers. When we need some extra hands two other dads, Gary Williams and Paul Winsor will also be on hand.
Please feel free to pop in before or after the meeting and say hi.
As part of the change over there is a new email address to contact us with, the one that this email is sent from. I will be sending out notices and updates from this account and it is the one to use to let me know if anyone cannot make a meeting or if you have any questions.
To further help improve communication I have created a blog at http://31stcubs.blogspot.co.uk
You will see that this has a calendar of activities and events and also somewhere for us to post messages. We will always use email to send out main notifications but we will copy them to the blog so that if you think you have missed anything or deleted something by mistake then you will be able to find it there.
As we start to build up the programme of activities for the forthcoming year we will add some of the information to the calendar so that you can see the sort of activities that are coming up. It will take a while to get this all up to speed and if you have any suggestions then please email them to the new account.
Some Cubs will be shortly moving up to Scouts and Nigel will be contacting you shortly with more details on this.
Starting this week we will have a new tranche of Beavers preparing to swim up. They will be coming for their first taste of Cubs and we have a number of activities at this week's meeting to facilitate this.
It means that we have a lot to get through so we need to make a prompt start. Would everyone make a special effort to arrive ready for a start at 6:45.
Thanks,
Tim Lavender
