If any parents can spare an hour or two either this evening (Tue) or Thurs evening to come to the Scout HQ and help build the assault course we would be very grateful. Unfortunately we are quite a bit behind with what we need to do at this stage. We will be onsite from 5-10pm, but come and leave when you need to.<p>

<font face="arial"><font color="red"><b>NUCLEAR ROOKIES - 19TH MAY</b><br></font><p>
We have booked 15 spaces for the very muddy Nuclear Rookies Rush race on the 19th May, which has been voted the kids best Obstacle Course Race! Based on the adult 'nuclear races' (think Tough Mudder or similar) but only 3km long and with simpler obstables,  It is also one of the muddiest events we do...<p>

Our annual assault course will be available week beginning Feb 26th at the Scout HQ. The highlight of the year for many members, you must <b>book sessions in advance if you want to attend</b>! In order to fit everyone in, we run sessions every evening with only <b>very limited spaces available on Friday</b>. Session times are below; please visit the website to sign up or for more information.<p>

<p>
<b>Year 7</b><ul>
<li>Mon 26th Feb 7:45-9:15pm (half full)

<li>Thur 1st Mar 4:30-6:00pm*

</ul>

<p>
There is a maximum of 16 members for each session. <b>There is no normal meeting on the Friday evening this week.</b>We will run out of spaces on sessions, so please do not leave it too late to book.<p>We also need help taking the course down on Sun 4th March from 2-3:30pm. This year we are using scaffolding to build the course so there will not be so much to do as the poles will be taken down at a later date. James spends the best part of ten days building the course and would really appreciate any help on the Sunday with dismantling. Please let us know if you can help.<p>
