Dear 172 Scouts
I’ve been asked by Juniper Green Church to provide our usual annual inspection/chat with you as part of our contact with hall users.
Can you let me know what evening would be convenient for coming along for 15 minures or so for a chat ?
Regards
Ross MacKay
Hi there, my son turns 6 tomorrow and I would love him to become a member of a Beavers group.
He is currently in P1 at Murrayburn Primary School and loves it. He has mild cerebral palsy which mainly affects his mobility but this normally poses a problem during long distances for which he uses a wheelchair. He also has Type 1 diabetes but again this shouldn’t be a problem for the Beavers class.
Can you let me know if you are currently enrolling children just now and some info on the classes etc.
Many thanks.
Louise Smith.
