With Respect

Thanks to everyone who turned up for Remembrance Sunday Parade, that's 35 scouts plus beavers, cubs & explorers, so if you didn't, I hope you were paying your respect elsewhere. Micro and Sid did a seriously good job of leading the Drum Corps, as our Group Scout Leader, Roger was at the service in London following his son, Steve's injury in Afghanistan.
Everybody I've seen, including parents, other churchgoers and the Royal British Legion said it was a great parade and were very complimentary. For the younger scouts, you may not be aware the both Will, who carried the RBL standard and Ed, who played the Last Post are part of the Scout Group too...
Thanks also to the sports coaches who delayed their matches until later in the day. If your's didn't and you missed the match, you should explain in good time that there are more important things for them to be doing, it's not just a scout parade.
Perhaps it wasn't made clear but the RBL lay on food for the Drum Corps in the Duncan afterwards, as not many came there was loads of food for me and enough room for a game of darts....
