All the goodies for the Children were provided by the Unit.
Siobhan Freeney, Assistant Cub Leader from the Wednesday Cubs came along to present the Awards. The girls and boys were all in their best gear for the night. Each Beaver had their own piece to do and as usual some really excelled thenselves. Our story ”The Great Pumpkin Eater” acted out by the Beavers was really funny. One Fanner was really energetic and the other one was really laid back.
