Hi

Evening all.

SCOUT GRASS CUTTING
New member Colin Collier gave up some of his time this week in between the rain showers to cut the newly seeded grass area behind the Scout Hall. Many thanks Colin, good job done!!!!

BARBECUE BREAKFAST
In case you have not already heard, we are holding a Breakfast BBQ tomorrow (30 August) at 10.30 approximately, at the Shed. If you want to come along and have not already let Lyall (the chief griller) know, please email him at lyalldownie@blueyonder.co.uk or use the WhatsApp group to let him know. A contribution towards the cost of the food will be requested, probably in the region of £1 or £2 per person. These BBQs have been very successful so far, and it is a great opportunity to enjoy good food with good company. As per previous on-site functions, it's ALCOHOL FREE (as in- no alcohol...)

OTHER PROJECTS
We are going to Colinton Primary School tomorrow to fit their new mud kitchen. We were going to return to Murrayburn PS next Friday to repair theirs, but I'll be in sunny Seville 🌞(sorry Davy, I forgot!!!) so I won't be able to make it.

CAGE FOR SCOUTS' AIR CON UNIT
Alister is progressing well with the cage, assisted by Jan. Any other volunteers wishing to have a go at simple welding, please speak to Alister.

PORTABLE PLANER
I have it in the back of my car and will bring it along tomorrow. I don't know where they get the 'portable' from 'cos it's weighs a ton!!!!

LITTER PICKING STATIONS
Let's try and get things moving on these and see if we can have a couple ready for the Police before Guy Fawkes night. Might give us some street cred with them.

CURRIE PRIMARY SCHOOL ATRIUM
Now that Ali 2 sheds has finished his bench/planters we'll be once again concentrating on the Atrium refurbishment. We're drying off some timber to prep it for painting and fitting now that the schools are back.

Murray's in hospital with a stomach pain, so we wish him well.... (at least he can't blame Lyall's barbie for it😊
