Thanks so much to everyone who dropped by the den today! We got SO much done, and everything looks fantastic.
Scouts will resume this Thursday night but at our 'summer' time of 6:30pm. This week we will get started on our trolleys, so bring down some wheels, wood and imagination. The trolley derby is planned for 03 November in Whitby, Raumati is the host group, and I will forward details as they come out.

The phone book deliveries are still scheduled for the 26-28 October weekend. This is our major annual fundraiser for the entire group and is definitely an 'all-hands-on-deck' situation.
For our new families who have not done the phone books before, here's a brief description.
- Friday night is packing night. Absolutely everyone shows up at a warehouse and joins a huge humming hive of activity where we group white and yellow pages, bag them up and load pallets.
- Saturday is the major delivery day. Anyone with a road-legal trailer, cube van, or horse-and-dray please show up and get ready to explore the highways and byways of our great region with a team of willing Scouts, Venturers and Cubs. You will get to pick the routes you'll be delivering to which is a super opportunity to head into suburbs that you might not ordinarily see.
- Sunday is also delivery day. Any runs that didn't get completed on Saturday should get covered today. Any extra phone books (usually just four or five... hundred
) will need to be brought back to the den, and the warehouse will need to be completely cleaned up.
I have not heard exactly where our warehouse space is yet this year, but will post as soon as that information becomes available. Does anyone have a spare 1100 square metre space...?

Cheers,
