looking ahead a couple of weeks
Hello all,
So this week we have the knots/lashings/raftbuilding to have some fun with. Please remember wet gear so we can sea trial our creations.
Next week (21 Feb) the programme says Rowing, but I think a bit of sailing practice would be beneficial, seeing as we have two days of regatta that weekend.
The week after that (28 Feb) calls for Crew Overboard. However, I have booked us in for dragonboating instead. This will be highly weather-dependent, so if it looks not-so-good we may be back to the Crew Overboard. We'll try to get at least a day's notice at any rate.
Cheers,
R

Ready, set, GO!
Hello all,
Fantastic evening and a great start to the term. Lots of good fun on the water in kayaks and tubes, photos up in the gallery AND on that Facebook thing!
Welcome to our new crew:
Ben
Andre (brother of Marcus the Younger)
Dylan (friend of Marcus)
George
Elliot (brother of Lewis)
I did a little bit of watch shuffling last night just to show our new guys where they be positioned. I expect we'll have a fuller roster next week and we'll do a proper job of it so everyone knows where they will be. One other change of note, Ollie was promoted to Assistant Coxswain of Aft Port.
The watchlists and term programme will be emailed out in a few days; please print them off so you can see what we're up to ahead of time.

Things are beginning to ramp up for Jamboree 2014. The Scouts national office has put together some resources that everyone should be very interested in and they will be mostly on Facebook this time around.
First is a public page where signup is not necessary:
http://www.facebook.com/NewZealandScoutJamboree
Next is a group page where Scouts 13+years can sign up. You'll need your Scout Membership Number to confirm the join request:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/NZScoutJamboree.Youth/
If you don't have your Membership Number, please call the national office.
See you next week!
