It has been suggested that the SYorks explorers meet
occasionally (once a quarter) as a hub to be advised
of what is planned and to help 'meet your neighbours'.
The first such meeting is either 22 or 29 Nov 08 @
Hesley for a Burger & Bonfire night - who's interested?

A big issue is the wearing of uniform or not.  To cut
to the chase - once a month we will have a flagbreak
in full uniform (blue/black/grey trousers NOT jeans)
Any missing items = £0.50p fine!  The rest of the time
an activity polo/T shirt or sweatshirt.

Rotherham (John OLIVER) are happy for us to do bag
packing to raise funds @ Morrisons Corton Wood -
however asked if they could join in and split the
monies raised?  I've accepted as many hands make
light work and will contact Morrisons to see if
they are willing to have us.

Skiing @ Sheffield ski village Mon - Fri under 16
- 2pm to 6pm for 1hr =£6.70 (£8 16+) for 10+ persons.
