There is always a long list of ongoing maintenance jobs to keep the Scout HQ in a decent state for our Scouts / meetings. As you can see from the current list here, the jobs range from regular tidying and cleaning to more meaty projects. We may never get to all of them, but the more of these jobs we can do ourselves, the better - paying people to do them would mean either more fundraising or higher subs.
Our next Shipshape Day is on 4th Feb and we'll get through as many jobs as we can in the morning. We therefore really need as many helpers as possible - the past few Shipshape Days have been poorly attended and it's been hard even to keep the cleaning / tidying ticking over. We'll provide tea / coffee biscuits and although it might not sound fun, there's usually a good atmosphere, plenty of chat and a great sense of satisfaction at the end. The more, the merrier is certainly true for Shipshape Days.
Please sign up on this spreadsheet here for an hour (more if you can, but even an hour is much appreciated).
Many thanks for your support in helping to maintain Batchworth's fantastic facilities for our children.
