I would like to announce that Rosemary Verner has taken over from John Rogers and become ADC YPP.  Thank you to John for laying a good foundation in what was a new role when he took it over.  John has become District Leader, Special projects. Colin Bell has become District Scout Leader and will be a member of Rosemary's support team alongside Patrick and Colleen. 

Donna Pearce has joined the District Team as ADC GS and joins Tony Inwood, Chris Adams, Andrew Elliott and Jennie Curtis. 

The District event took place on Sat 21st Nov and was a very good scouting evening. On the Monday of the same week I only had my own Long Buckby team and a promise of a Byfield team (who's team details had travelled bizzarly to Vietman). But things took shape by mid week and on the day we had 10 District packs represented. In fact such was the pace of late entries and changes I was wondering if some events would actually be pushed into requiring 4 heats. In the end all individual events were 3 heats and there were even heats in the relays.
