Hike along Solent

Date: Tuesday 22nd September

Time: 18.30 - 20.00

Venue: Meet at Maritime Centre on Newtown Road, Collect from car park near Moody's boat yard

This evening counts as 1 hike and will go towards achieving the Adventure badge (only for older Cubs).

We thought it would be nice to take advantage of the lighter evenings to hike along the footpath beside the Solent. We will be meeting outside the Maritime Centre on Newtown Road and hiking down to the shore. Then we will follow the footpath past Strawberry Fields, the Rising Sun, the Hamble ferry and along to the car park on Swanwick Shore Road.

Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather and bring a rucksack with a filled water bottle in it. If the weather is appalling then we will meet at Burridge as usual. Akela will text on the day if the hike is cancelled.

Christmas Party

Date: Tuesday 8th December

Time: 18.15 - 20.00

Please note change to start time. Our final meeting of the year will be a Christmas Party. This year we will be having a traditional party games night with old favourites such as musical chairs!

We would like to include some time to eat together and would ask you to provide a filled lunchbag for your child, so that they can join in. We have opted for this because of food allergies. The leaders will provide drinks for the children.

There will be a post box for any cards the Cubs wish to send to each other.

Please let Akela know if you are unable to attend.
