The Group Executive Committee
The group is run by an Executive committee made up of parents of current and former members, as well as the scout leaders. As an exec, our aims are primarily to keep the Scout Group going. However, there are several projects which we are hoping to complete in the future such as:
- A new roof for the hut
- A new heating system in the hut
- Attracting regular income and security from a playgroup letting the hut after school.
As you can tell these aims are going to cost a lot of money and are probably not all going to happen, although we already have interest from after-school clubs.
We hope to raise money for these aims from grants and fund-raising. We have already gained over £10,000 for work on security and the grounds of the hut, but unfortunately these grants had to be used outside the hut. We have had several small grants for things such as – a structural engineers report on the hut, a new non-slip floor in the kitchen and a new cooker in the hut.
We meet every couple of months, usually at the Griffin Hotel, Didsbury Road, Heaton Mersey. We would welcome any input into these aims and if you are interested in helping the group to raise money, please contact us .

First mow 2008
Whilst the bedding plants were being delivered, I mowed the field and around the front of the hut. Now all we need is a team to mow the grass once at the beginning of every month until October!

Bedding plants success
With thanks to Bernard, we’ve managed to raise close to £1,400 through our bedding plant sale. It was great to have so much help this year with the deliveries. Despite having taken 20% more orders this year, the deliveries were finished by about 1pm. So a big thank you to all who helped!

All quiet on the home front
Everything has been a bit quiet over summer, but we finished with some good, clean fun. On 30th June we held one of our regular clean up days, to look after the hut and the grounds around it. Afterwards we had a bring-and-share BBQ and played some games in the newly-mown field.
