Team A and Team B waiting to see if they were victorious!

Who founded the Scout Movement??

Was just one of the many questions that our two Cub teams encountered in this year's Minds of Medvale Competition.

The Minds of Medvale competition is a District Cub Quiz where each team has to have three members - one of age 8, one of age 9 and one of age 10 (to make a total of 27) - to answer many general knowledge questions.

Unfortunately neither of our teams won the competition - that honour fell jointly to 248th (Bethel) and 2/289th with 346th coming in as runners up. But as we always say... "its not the winning that matters, its the taking part"! And all members of Team A and Team B seemed to enjoy themselves.

So if you need anybody to make up a team for your next bout of Trivial Pursuits - you could do worse than choose one of our Team Members:

Thomas Reeves
Zach Cherrington
Jacob Chalmers
Lottie Cunningham
Jack Edmunds
Luke Oliver

Thank you all for attending.

Oh, and by the way.... the answer to 'who founded the Scout movement?" is Robert Baden-Powell! Thankfully a bit of en-route coaching meant that all team members knew this!!

We shall remember them...

Sunday November 11th saw the group attend Failsworth's Remembrance Sunday Service.

A good attendance from all sections of the group met at Tesco and proceeded to parade with other groups from the district down to the cenotaph.

Following a nice Remebrance Service, the parade then returned back up Oldham Road to be dismissed at the Town Hall.

Thank you to all who turned up and big "thank you's" to all those who carried a flag or layed the wreath on the cenotaph. You all did our Group very proud.

Thank You

Remember, remember the 5th of November....

...Gunpowder, treason and plot!

Friday 2nd November saw 224th Manchester's annual Bonfire Night Extravaganza!

The fire was lit, the wood was ready, the hotpot was on the stove..... would people turn up! Yes they did!! Plenty of people arrived to enjoy the bonfire, marvel at the fireworks, take advantage of the bar and eat the hotpot.
 
The only thing that was missing was a 'Guy' and thankfully nobody suggested putting a Cub on the bonfire! Or better still - nobody suggested using a leader as a 'Guy'!!

Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and the weather was kinder to us this year than last with just a few showers during the evening. Thank you for all your support.
