Annual Meeting & Awards
Report Date 13/06/08
Over 100 people attended our Awards evening recently and what was really pleasing were some of the comments made:-
- The best Annual meeting of any organisations, I have ever attended
- I didn't realise these meetings were such fun
- A brilliant evening of fun and relaxation - thank you
- Another great evening and another great story
- The Explorer Scouts were incredible
In addition to the business parts of the meeting, variations on some of "Our Show" sketches, some special presentations (see other News Items) we also presented some of our annual awards. Tom Lincoln (Scout Leader Lions) was presented with the Fred Rook trophy for his community service. Tom is not only very active with Scouts but can often be found at the Hayling College and the Station Theatre helping with their shows. Tony Baker then presented the David Baker memoriable award to Paul (Jacko) Jackson for his example and commitment to the Scout promise and Laws.
Ian Hawke presented "Thanks Badges" to Sally Jones, Jo Hawley, Nigel Kenny, Andrew Harrison and Clive Allgood for their special support to the group over 5 years.
Finally, Nigel Valette the District Commissioner for Havant presented a 20 Year Adult Service certificate to our Treasurer Mary Pike and 30 Year service certificates to Mandy & Ian Hawke.
