Hi everyone,
Now that things are settling down and most of my hats I have been wearing are coming down to one, it is now time for me to focus on Group matters. One of the core things that I would like to find out from everyone is what resources we have within our family pool. By this I am looking to put together a list of tradesmen and other services that families within the group can provide from time to time.
Now I am not asking to donate your time every time we need help, as there are times when we have to pay for fixes or repairs. I am seeking from everyone what professional type services they can provide to the group. I am very keen to tap into an electrician, builder, gardening services etc. For paid work I would prefer to offer work to those within the group first before seeking outside assistance.
In the next three years I have a group plan that will see some changes around the den, assuming we can get the grants for them or can fundraise to cover these costs. As is always the case when you are trying to find the right person, you don't even know they exist under your nose. This came up when discussing the proposed shed design with a Scout Family member.
Proposed changes in next twelve/eighteen months:
- Make over of the Scout Cupboard (similar to the Cub cupboard)
- Possible quote for a Kitchen makeover
- Potential work in the shed for shelving and cupboards for lock away storage or patrol meeting room.
- Grounds garden project
- Seating around the Campfire area.
- Lighting improvements around the den
This is just a few ideas that we need to resource and have guidance or professional assistance with.
If you are prepared to offer your services please let me know and I will add you to my contact list. I am also offering you a chance to advertise your business services too with a business card area for you all to tap into. A pin board will be set up for you to add your cards too in the next month.
I look forward to hearing back on what is available to us.
Regards and yours in Scoutng,
Stephen Hughes (Bagheera)
