Christmas with Thursdays Beavers
we hope you had a great Christmas and that 2010 is a very happy year for you all.
There was great excitement when the Beavers arrived for their Meeting on the 10th December. There was a surprise Disco and as usual Barry was in top form.
Everyone was out dancing when Santa appeared through the door with 2 large bags of presents . He had plenty of time to chat to each Beaver and gave each of then a beautiful present. He was delighted when teh Beavers all sang Jingle Bells very loudly. Mary Dunne supplied all the spot prizes and Santa,s helper Martine wasmuch appreciated. When they were goinghome they got crackers, whistles, sweets and a toothbrush to keep their teeth nice and clean.
All the Parents got a box of Barry’s “teabags so they could have a golden moment” later on at home. Revival Ltd, Firmount, sponsored the cost of the night.
Thank you toeveryone who was involved inputting this night together and especially Santa himself.
We did a lot of work and all the Scrap Books to bring them up to date and we played all the favourite games before we closed for christmas. We also made some christmas cards. Gemma and Sarah made special halloween and christmas cards for our annual scrap book. Ireally appreciate Gemma Gallagher, Sarah Creagh, Shannon Robinson and Emily O’Brien who are scouts and Venturers, for their help over the past year. They are a great to our beaver colony and we hope they stay with us for a long time. Beaver of the Month fo December was Keelan O’Connell
Many thanks to all the parents for their lovely gifts and especially to the beavers for their homemade cards and letters.
We return on the 14th of January with anew programme and we look forward to the coming year.
Anne.
