Thursday Beavers.
Beaver of the Month for May Freddie Stack.
The annual Disco in the Westgrove Hotel was a huge success. As always Mary Dunne and her committee treated us extermely well. The Bearver once again won many prizes.
Out March Outing to the Lullymore Heritage Park was a great day out. The full Beaver Colony went on this Outing as it was parly to do with the new Programme. We stayed the full day there and the Beaver of course would have liked to stay longer. We went on the train and were left in the middle of the bog and on the way back we stopped for a picnic an da singing competion.
In May we went to Dublin by public transport. We visited the Wax Museum, the History Museum, Stephen’s Green where we had our lunch and went to th echildren’s playground and the Disney Store at the top of Grafton Street. On Grafton Street we met a Leprechaun who danced the Beavers up and down the Street. We saw a dog made out of sand on the foorpath, a man blowing huge bubbles, a knife act and a fire act. We stopped at Molly Malone and sang a song. We have some great new Photos ot the day. [ the photos will be added later on] We actually had not enough time to see everthing and when we go again we will on on an earlier bus.
At our Meeting we continued to practice for Perent Night/Awards Night which did take place on the 2nd of June. Most of the awards where awarded to the old Beavers who have been with us for 2 years. Stephen Cash was invested into the Beavers on that Night as he was not very well in Janaury. We had 2 Beavers of the year and the annual Beaver Scrap Book was Presented to a Beaver. This Book is bigger and better than ever this year.
Places in bith Beaver Colonies are very limited this year, 2 places on the Tuesday Beavers and 3 in Thurdays Beavers. 3 Beavers from the Thursday Colony will move on to Wednesday Cubs next September and they are Niamh Henry, Conor Coughlan and Ellen Fitzgerald.
The Waiting List for places in the Beavers will remain closed for some time.
Our Unit Mass was held on the 12th June on the Parish Church at 11.30 am.
We will close on the 23rd June and will open on the 8th September 2011.
On behalf on the Unit we send our deepest sympathy to the O’Neill Family on the death of David. May he rest in Peace.
We wish you a very safe and happy Summer.
Anne.
