Anyone who knows me will know I have had long hair for a long time, I think I was about 13 when I first let it grow. I have been called Chewbacca, hippy, wookie, Cousin It, etc, etc. If it makes reference to something long haired, I have been called it.
So at our AGM in July I am having it all shaved off!
The Scout Hut in Halesworth was built in the late 1800's and is past it's best. It now costs a lot to insure, maintain and service; costs that will increase over the years. For years it has been evident that a new building was needed. The Beavers, Cubs & Scouts in Halesworth need a new, modern headquarters with heating, water & toilets that all work properly.
The build cost has been estimated at £300,000 which includes the demolition of the current building, the build, security fencing and landscaping. In this budget we have included new furniture, china and cutlery, in all, a ready to use facility. We need £20,000 as an initial sum to allow us to start to approach the various grant bodies from which we hope to raise most of the funds.
