Congratulations to...
* The Scouts of the Round Table (WSJ Unit 10) on an awesome presentation to families and friends on Sunday about their amazing Jamboree adventures. Thanks especially to the leaders - Chris, Elaine, Fi and Ian - and congratulations to Chris Floyd on being awarded a County Commissioner’s Commendation for his leadership at three World Scout Jamborees.
 
* Ninety Tanzania 2017 applicants on a great selection weekend, including surviving two middle of the night wake-up calls, moving pioneering poles from A to B and then back again, and in-depth interviews. Fingers crossed for everyone.
