The celebration of our 100 years is now in full swing! Here are the final timings and detailed information about our fantastic September Centenary events.

Centenary Exhibition at Northcote – 4 September to 11 September
We will be running an exhibition of memorabilia and ‘treasures’ collected over our Group history, including the original register from 1910, the trek cart (still being used), camp horn, flags and other goodies.

The exhibition will be open to the public on the following dates/times:
Saturday 4 Sept 2010 2pm-6pm
Sunday 5 Sept 2010 10am-3pm
Friday 10 Sept 2010 10am-3pm and 7pm-9pm
Saturday 11 Sept 2010 10am – 3pm 
There will be no charge for attending the exhibition. Coffee and tea will be available.

ALL SCOUT SECTIONS WILL RETURN W/C 6 SEPTEMBER AND THE EXHIBITION WILL BE PART OF THEIR FIRST MEETING BACK.

Celebratory Church Service – 1.30pm 12 September
Please join us for a special commemorative service at Westbury on Trym Parish Church at 1.30pm on the 12 September. This will be a short, family centred service where young people from our Group will be taking part. Meet in Westbury car park at 1pm for a procession into the church. After, at 2.15pm, we will take a centenary photograph and  walk back to Northcote with a police escort!

Centenary Garden Party – 3-5pm 12 September
After our church service above we will be gathering at Northcote for our final Garden party event. Come along and enjoy a fun, party atmosphere. We will be providing a light tea, musical accompaniment and look forward to finishing our week in style. A special part of the day will be the cutting of our centenary cake by the oldest and youngest Scout!

For safety, we are closing the section of the road in front of Northcote so please leave your cars at Westbury car park or in Falcondale/Reedley Road. If you require disabled access please let us know in advance so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Thinking of others…Nepal
Throughout the centenary week we’ll be raising funds, through the sale of raffle tickets, for the Friendship clinic in Nepal. The charity was founded to provide resources to build a brand new medical clinic and supply of fresh water, by a good friend of the 26th, Peter Shore and his family. If we collect enough, then we may even have a water well named after us!

Centenary Badge/history
For those of you who have pre-ordered badges (£1 each) or a copy of the 26 history (free) you can pick them up during the exhibition times above or at the garden party. 

We hope you’ll be able to join us at some or all of these events. Please contact us if you need to know more; Let’s celebrate in style!
