R.I.P. Nick Brisland
Please take a moment to remember Nick Brisland, a 19-year old Scout Network member from Hampshire who died in a tragic motorbike accident on Friday 24th April. Nick was a popular member of Itchen North KABOOM Network and an enthusiastic member of the Roverang cast. Last Saturday, hundreds of bikers turned out to pay their respects to Nick; next Saturday is his funeral and many people from Scouting will be there to remember Nick - http://www.hampshirescouting.org.uk/r-i-p-nick-brisland/

Congratulations to...
* to 21st Romsey and Shackleton ESU Rifle Club for organising what we believe to be the first "Run and Shoot" competition in the UK to be run to the new ISSF "Target Sprint" format on 2nd May and for making it such a success, and to all the competitors. Results are at http://runandshoot.org.uk/. Interest in this new shooting discipline is growing rapidly and it will feature in the National Scout Rifle Championships at Bisley in October. See http://www.scouts-shoot.org.uk/nsrc/next for details and an entry pack!
* to the members of Hampshire Scout Rifle Club who took part in the English Small-bore Shooting Championships at Bisley last weekend and especially to the medal winners:
Annabelle Bullock - Gold Medal and English Champion, Women’s 10 metre air rifle (and Junior Women’s 10m air rifle), Katherine Maskell – Silver Medal, Women’s 10 metre air rifle (and Junior Women’s 10m air rifle), Harley Raine – First place & English Champion, 10m Sporter air rifle, Emma Sidey – Second place - 10m Sporter air rifle,
Charlotte Huddart - Third place - 10m Sporter air rifle.
Sporter Air Rifle was a “Clean Sweep†for Scouting!
* Gosport on a great District Activity Camp held at Lyons Copse, with over 600 people attending. Activities included climbing, cooking, crafts, wide games, and the inevitable bouncy castles.
* New Forest North on their amazing District Camp at Ferny Crofts, with nearly every section taking part, and activities from around the world. Thanks especially to Netley Marsh for a great dinner, NFN Explorers for their welcome, and Kerie and his team for an amazing campfire.
* Southampton District on their Activity Camp at Biblins in the Forest of Dean - sorry I couldn't make it down, and hope the Wye Valley was as awesome and the suspension bridge as bouncy as ever.
* Rotherfield District on their cycling trip to France, exploring Normandy and visiting war graves to remember the fallen from all sides.
