Text Box: Welcome Back Quarterly Text Box: Gilwell Park Works Program—Invitation to participate Text Box: It has been some years since the Lodge held it’s BBQ in the hills. This activity was held in Emerald and The Basin just before the first meeting of the calendar year. It was a great opportunity to catch up with brethren and their families on a social level before the year got into full swing. In February this year we plan to a BBQ in the Hills with a difference. The difference is we require the brethren to provide some assistance before eating. The Lodge has been invited by the Gilwell Park team to assist with their Works Program. We plan to work on a small project around the Lochan which should Text Box: easily be finished over the weekend. Even if you are not in the position to lift a shovel or swing a mattock feel free to come along and join in the social opportunities. We can’t have a BBQ in the hills without someone to man the BBQ ! For those brethren (and their partners) who wish to stay overnight we are planning to organise accommodation at one or more of the great venues at the park. This is a fantastic opportunity to catch up with brethren and families in a casual and relaxing environment. It is also a chance to undertake some voluntary work whilst promoting the Lodge at the same time. Please consider this activity and contact The Secretary to secure a sausage.
