<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>THANKS!</b><br></font><p>
We have just had a lovely Christmas present from the tax man - &pound;2550 in funding as a result of parents completing gift aid declarations. Thank you if you have done so (if you haven't and are able to, please do so on the website) and also thank you to Naomi K and Ian S for their work in submitting the claim.

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>THIS FRIDAY'S MEETING - HELP</b><br></font><p>
As this meeting was added later, we currently have zero parents helping on Friday. Gulp. If you could spare an hour and a half to let us run our final meeting of the term please sign up on the website.

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>YEAR 6 SLEEPOVERS - JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS!</b><br></font><p>
Crazy games. Pizza. Bouncy Castle. Indoor accommodation. Heating. All the ingredients for two fantastic sleepoves. We have just one space left for the boys (4/5 Jan) but plenty for the girls (3/4 Jan); more information and sign up on the website please.

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>...and finally a huge THANK YOU</b><br></font><p>
This is our last email newsletter of 2019. A big thank you to all the parents who have helped out with running meetings, activities or behind the scenes admin or even braved staying overnight in a Scout HQ or tent with us this year! <b>However, I'd also like to thank our amazing team of 'Young Leaders' who collectively give up thousands of hours each year</b> to ensure we can continue to run our meetings, activities and camps for your children. They are often there before you arrive on a Friday, and some are usually still clearing up past 10:30pm. Some did an 11 hour stint on Christmas Fayre day; others took a week off work to help run summer camp. NMYP could not run without their amazing commitment and we remain very grateful for all their help. This year's core team has been...<p>
