Issue No.10 Summer Term '15
What we've been up to…
2nd Chailey News !1
It’s been another great term with lot’s of fun
evening’s to take our mind off the cold and
dark outside!
We started the term with our usual games
night to get everyone back in to the swing of
things, followed by a glow in the dark
evening during which we made our own lava
lamps and experimented with glowing face
paint. No photos of this one I’m afraid, it
was too dark!
We then had a week off as 8 of our regular
leaders very
unreasonably
decided to go on
holiday at the same
time! 8 of them
together!
Back from the
slopes and amazingly all in one piece we
spent happy evening playing giant battle
ships which involved marking a grid out on
the floor and assign roles of aircraft carrier,
frigate etc. And doing our
best to take out the other
team with a fine blend of
skill, tactics and cheating!
For a bit more love and
less war we had a great
valentine’s disco the
following week. The disco
was kindly hosted by Harry Stewart ably
assisted by Ciaron and Bradley who were DJs
for the night.
We were joined by
our great friends
from Barcombe
Scouts for an
excellent evening
of sharing new
games.
We showed Barcombe how we play our very
own version of real life Cluedo and the
Barcombe crew taught us a game involving
dice and cups and a great deal of stealing
from other teams which (I think) was part
of the game!
Having saved all of our
recycling up for a few weeks,
we had plenty of noisy rubbish
for an evening of Stomp music,
whilst
definitely erring on the
side of cacophony
rather than symphony,
we had great fun!
Andy organised a ready steady cook evening,
the pink colouring spread from the coconut
ice onto noses and cheeks,the biscuits and
chocolate in the rocky road ending up being
worn by all, and the icing sugar in the
peppermint cream formed a very sticky
floor. Liz kept the resulting sweets in her
classroom until they set, there seemed to be
some missing, I wonder why! All in all we
had a good messy time.
2ND CHAILEY NEWS What we've been up to | New Kit Store | Summer Term
Issue No.10 Summer Term '15
Summer Camp Plans are underway As reported in the last letter, this year’s camp will be held at Plumpton Agricultural nestling at the base of the south downs. We have stayed at Plumpton a few times in the past and always had a wonderful time with plenty of space, lovely views and lot’s of animals to meet.
If you’re interested in coming to camp this year or in visiting us, please let us know as soon as possible as we need to ensure all the necessary paperwork is submitted in good time.
A lovely gift Earlier in March I was contacted via our new website by Mr Stevens asking me to let him know where to send a donation as his brother had recently passed away and had been a keen scout in his younger days and they wanted to see some money go to the Scouts. A few weeks later we received a cheque with a lovely letter. Thank you so much to Mark and Norman Stevens. We will be sure to put your brother Michael’s money to good use!

New storage
Regular readers may remember that a few years ago
we reported that we had built a new kit store for all
of our camping equipment as the building we used to
use was being redeveloped (that building is now
home to ‘Futures’). The new store has worked out
wonderfully for us making the process of loading and
unloading equipment so much easier. Unfortunately
though we have found we don’t have enough space to
store some of the larger equipment we own (more
about this later). After a plea to school, we were
kindly given another plot next to our existing stores
on which we could build a new store. The Friends of
Chailey generously donated us the money to have the
new store built and our friend and long term
supporter Pete at Barnard Fencing gave us a great
deal on a brand new store.
Something that takes up a lot of space for us but is a
great thing to have is our set of 3 adapted bikes,
these get a great deal of use at our summer camp but
otherwise not so much. Parents are reminded that if
you would ever like to borrow one of the bikes for a
day, weekend or week away, you would be more than
welcome.
