Many Moons ago the webmaster of a AberSSAGO asked me to redo their club website for them. Having a familiarity of the club through a good friend called AberMary (who many readers of this blog also know as Fearless Guider) I wanted the club to put its best foot forward so I thought “‘what the hey’ I could do with a bubbly and friendly piece to add to my portfolio” and got involved...read more »
Two years ago Go Jamboree went to a Build Weekend for the World Scout Jamboree, we arrived Friday, worked all-day Saturday, went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in the Evening and went home on Sunday. This weekend we did something similar, unfortunately there isn’t another WSJ to help out with so I picked us out a campsite and cinema for Mary to get us booked on as service crew....read more »
“Gang shows calling!” The Milton Keynes Gang show is starting rehearsals and auditions next week. It’s been a few years since I’ve been in the cast, regardless I’m still looking forward to it, hopefully I’ll be getting a few dance roles and not so many vocals, what can I say I’ve never really been any good at singing *shrug*....read more »
I’ve been looking forward to this rally ever since I learnt that we would be going to the beach, there was the opportunity to go to during the first Welsh Rally back in 2005 but my club and I overslept missing the coach and being left stranded on camp site with few others around. It was fun though, and we made the best of it was we could. Anyway this rally...read more »
There aren’t many occasions for a Scout to wear a posh suit, shirt and tie without getting mud over them so when the opportunity arises I’m more than happy to spend a little bit more for a demure evening than I would on an exuberant weekend camp.
This particular SSAGO Ball has special significance to me, it will be my Birthday this weekend. I’m not particularly fond of Birthdays, and certainly not this one. To add to my melancholy I’m also going to be handing over my position as Publicity Officer. I’ve enjoyed the challenges this role has presented to me and the situations it raised, I’m going to miss them....read more »
Last year I was a student living on “less than thirty Altairan Dollars a day” and up for an elected ‘job’, this year I’m going to see my replacement elected just as I’ve started a career. It’s kinda ironic I guess, I’ve been a little uneasy about the whole process as I’ve done a lot for the SSAGO Publicity role and I don’t want it ending up in ruin. I thought the only truly happy outcome would be someone to fill in the voids I purposely didn’t address as it wouldn’t so much be a replacement of my work but a continuing in the direction I left it heading in. Luckily a charming lady got elected, the wonderful Heather Coupe, the sister of a previous PO. I look forward to seeing her exploits over the coming year, hopefully the rest of the exec won’t be a roller-coaster ride....read more »
