• New tents and equipment – We need to replace our aging patrol tents with modern easy to erect tents that don’t need as much drying …   do we all remember how much fund we have a Group Camp in 2019 putting up heavy canvass in the rain?
• Upgrades to our heating – getting rid of the old blast furnace and replacing it with modern efficient central heating – and installing heating in the rear of the hut, and proper hot water in the kitchen and toilets.
• Essential Maintenance – painting, decorating, lighting, wiring and more!

We have some excellent plans for fun and social events – can you help?
