Once again Melksham Scout Group is running it very popular Christmas Post.
It only costs 20p per item (cheaper than the Royal Mail) and all proceeds go to Melksham Scout Group
There are Melksham Scout post boxes in the following locations
We deliver to Melksham, Bowerhill and Berryfields.
Last day for Scout Christmas post is Thursday, 15th December.
As usual Melksham Scout Group has been invited to take part in the Remembrance Parade through Melksham on Sunday 13th November. The parade is scheduled to start at 1430 so please be at King Street car park for 1400. There is then the usual church service and wreath laying ceremony and we should be back at the car park for around 1630, this depends how quickly the police shut the roads.
Full uniform should be worn with black school trousers and shoes please. Parents can watch the parade along the route but there won’t be access to St Michaels church as seating here is reserved.
Scouts, Cubs & Beavers with the help of parents delivered 2037 Christmas cards in less than perfect weather conditions.
The cards were all sorted on the 21st December and then distributed later that week with volunteers taking a few roads each.
This year was our second very successful year with an increase of around 500 extra cards compared to last year, raising a very healthy £460.
A huge Thank You to all the volunteers, young & old, who braved the rain to ensure delivery. We are looking forward to an even better year in 2014.
