Hi guys,
I'm sorry the blog has been kind of dormant for a while now, but everyone's been fairly busy with work committments.
Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Group Council for kindly buying us new equipment - three Trangias, three fuel bottles and some methalated spirits for them as well. This equipment will be of great use on our trip to Conamara at the end of the month, and into the future as well.
We have a fairly busy couple of months coming up for V5, between an invitation to the Wednesday Troop's Annual Camp (July 18th - 24th), a trip to the West of Ireland (July 30th - August 3rd), another to Edinburgh (August 22nd to 25th) and other day activities in between. Murphy has written up the programme and will post it on this blog soon as well as emailing it to everyone.
Our next meeting will be held at the Crow's Nest on Tuesday, July 28th at 20:00 hours. For anyone going to Edinburgh this meeting will be important, and it is absolutely required that anyone planning on going on the Conamara trip attends also. Anyone planning on going to the West should inform either myself, Rick or Evelyn this week so we can book final numbers for the hostels on the way.
The map above outlines the route, and documents about the plan overview and costs can be found on this page. In short, it's from the afternoon of Thursday July 30th til the evening of Monday August 3rd and will cost around €150 in total. We're starting in Galway, finishing in Clare, and passing by Inis Oirr and the Cliffs of Moher on the way. It should be great!!!
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our next meeting. Please spread the word and if you are going on either the Edinburgh or the Conamara trip we really need you to be there.
Thanks a million.
Yours in Scouting,
Spud.
