Update for Westwood Football Club.

 The new team managed by ex Westwood players Duncan Frew and Sam Gimbert have had an excellent start to the season winning both games at home against teams from Bath by scoring seven and conceding one. They have a tough game away next week against a strong Peasedown side but should be bolstered by the inclusion of a couple of new signings that will strengthen an already capable squad.

For any more information please contact Derek Downes on 07976 82748

Damage to the hut on the playing field.

Someone has forced entry into the hut on the playing field just to put up a goal net to play in.

In doing so they have caused substantial damage to the doors which is going to be difficult to repair, so can i remind people that the hut and the contents are the property of the of the football club. Anyone found or seen entering these premises will be reported to the police.

Thank you. Derek Downes.

Thank you from Westwood Scarecrows

Please can we say a huge thank you to everyone who supported the Numbers scarecrow trail - our wonderful scarecrow makers, everyone who baked cakes and sold maps, and all of you who came along to the trail and to our BBQ? 

We raised £2,560 which will be split equally between Westwood School and Westwood Nursery - it’s a fantastic amount to be able to buy new equipment and resources for our local children. 

Many thanks also to Westwood Shop, The New Inn, Iford Manor, The Parish Rooms, Number 10 Tea Gardens and the Social Club who all supported us by selling maps and providing prizes and parking - we are really grateful. 

If you would like to know the answers, you can find them now at https://www.westwoodnursery.org/scarecrow-trail-2019.html

Thanks again and look forward to next year!

Lilly, Bryony, Helen, Jo, Vicky, Rachel & Kay

News from 15th Bath (Freshford) Scouts

With an exciting programme ahead, we’re on the lookout for some teen/adult support to help our beavers, cubs and scouts get the most out of scouting. You don’t need to have prior scouting experience, but we do ask for a good sense of fun and plenty of energy!

We welcome adults of any age, but this may appeal in particular to youngsters looking to boost their CV, gain some community experience or work towards their DofE award.

We’re also keen to appoint a Quartermaster to take care of our stores. It’s not an onerous task, but may be rewarding for anyone with a little time to spare.

Yours in scouting,

Sam Lascelles

News from 15th Bath (Freshford) Scouts

Ask any cub or scout what the highlight of their year was and many, without hesitating, will say it was the camp. Sleeping outside, learning new skills and adventuring after dark are just some of the reasons they will give.

Our cubs and scouts were delighted by the opportunity to camp in the marquee following last month’s Hinton Charterhouse fete. They spent the evening learning how to spot wildlife, setting camera traps and using bat detectors. They might have been just down the road but, in terms of experience, they were many miles away!

For more information about joining the beavers/cubs/scouts or for volunteering to help the group, please email sam.lascelles@gmail.com

The 15th Bath (Freshford) Scouts need you!

Are you a parent, grandparent, former scout, or want to give back to the local community? We need enthusiastic volunteers for the following posts:

Camp committee members

We would like to establish a committee of volunteers who can spare some time over the next few months to plan a local weekend cubs camp. You’ll get to come camping too!

Beaver Leader

Our wonderful Beaver Colony Leader is stepping down, so we need a new leader. We provide training, help and flexible rotas  we just need a willing volunteer to continue the success of this thriving colony.

Treasurer

We are also looking for a successor to our current Group Treasurer. The role involves repaying leaders for expenses incurred and an annual audit of accounts. It can all be done online in the comfort of your home! No financial experience is necessary.

We’ve built up a fantastic group of beavers, cubs and scouts, and we’re proud to provide our local young people with the opportunities scouting offers. But we rely on the generosity of volunteers to keep going.  If you can help, please get in touch with our Group Scout Leader Sam Lascelles (sam.lascelles@gmail.com).
