Thanks for improved Scout HQ
12:06pm Thursday 28th August 2008
LEDBURY Scouts will return to their club house in September to find it has been much improved during the summer break, thanks to local generosity.
The town council has provided a grant of £1,500 towards a new heating system and a Hereford firm, Howden’s Joinery, has provided a new kitchen free of charge.
Club secretary, Jackie Tweedale said: “It looks great. We no longer have a kitchen with doors hanging off, and we have lots of decent storage space and hot water.”
The scouts have also been busy fund-raising themselves.
A social evening at Hellens in June added £675 to the kitty.
Mrs Tweedale said: “We would like to publically thank everyone who has helped us in the last few months.”
