<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>THANK YOU</b><br></font><br>This is our last newsletter of 2018. As usual, a huge number of people have worked hard to let the Youth Project run this year, but I would just like to highlight our fantastic young leader team. None of the below are parents, they are young adults or teenagers who have grown up attending the Project meetings and have decided to give something back. Most of them attend most weeks, some always staying until all the clearing up has been finished and we could not do even a quarter of what we do without them. A huge thank you to all of them for their commitment during 2018. <p>

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>BEACH PARTY - NEED TO SIGN UP IN ADVANCE</b><br></font><br>
You may have done this when you were younger, but if not (or if you enjoyed it and want to come again!) you are welcome to our slighly unusual.. Beach Party, taking place at the Scout HQ, Station Road. Make sure you come dressed for the beach!<p>
Thur 20th Dec 7:15-9pm<p>
When you arrive we will split you into small groups with your friends and have a number of activities and challenges to do. The best team at the end will win a prize! Will you be able to bury someone the best, build a sand sculpture, win beach volleyball, ride a donkey, stand up on a wobbly surfboard the longest and lots more? We have over a tonne of sand, an indoor water slide, a (very very good!) heating system and of course lots of ice cream and sprinkles to eat at the end.  <b>You need to let us know by booking on the website if you want to come (max 24 places)</b>. We are still looking for a couple of parents to help, if you feel you could cope with the chaos, please sign up on the website. Please don't forget a towel and suitable beach wear if you think you will want to try the water slide. 

<p>
<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>BEACH PARTY - CLEAR UP</b><br></font><br>
We will be cleaing up the beach party starting at 9pm on the Thursday evening. Any parents who could spare even 30 minutes to help we would be very grateful as there will be a lot to do.

<p>
<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>DO YOU LIKE BUILDING STUFF?</b><br></font><br>We are hoping to build (gravity powered!) gokarts with year 5 (Feb 1st) and year 6 (Jan 18th) next term but are after some parents who have the practical skills to come and help! We want the young people to do all the building etc, but will need parents who are comfortable with drills, hammers, saws etc to come and help supervise and keep them safe. If you feel you would be able to help with either or both sessions please let James know.
