http://www.3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk News and updates from the 3rd Molesey Scout Group en-us webmaster@3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk http://www.3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk/fundraising.htm#amazon Do you shop on-line with amazon.co.uk? Did you know that for every item that you purchase on-line, Amazon will donate 5% of the purchase price to the Scout Group? Plus, it won't cost you a penny extra! This is a very easy way to generate funds for the Scout Group and you can make a big difference to the activities that we are able to provide to our members. All you have to do is to access amazon.co.uk via the links on our website at www.3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk whenever you shop, and the rest of the process happens automatically. In the final three months of 2006 group members spent over £3500 at Amazon, which means that the group has made over £180. Thank you for your help, and please keep using it! http://www.3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk/fundraising.htm The roof of our Scout hut is getting rather old. Despite serving us well for the last 50 years, it is now in need of replacement. Some fundraising is going to be necessary to achieve this task, and we need to generate tens of thousands of pounds to get the job done. If you have any ideas for generating some cash for this expensive project, our fundraising team is always ready to listen! Please contact them by e-mail on fundraising@3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk with your ideas. You can find out how you can help the group by visiting our fund raising page at www.3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk http://www.3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk/band.htm The 3rd Molesey (Matravers) Scout and Guide band is currently looking for new members. If you have ever wanted to learn to play an instrument then this could be your chance! We play a variety of instruments in the band; bugles, snare drums, tenor drums, bell lyres, and cymbals. If you would like to learn more about our band, please visit our web page at www.3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk . You will need to be a member of either the cubs, brownies, scouts, guides or explorers to join us. We meet every week on a Friday night, so please contact us at band@3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk if you are interested. http://www.3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk/fundraising.htm The response to our request for printer cartridges is proving to be a success, so please keep them coming. If you are not already familiar with this fund raising scheme then please read on... Every time you change the ink/toner cartridge in your printer at home or at work, you could be making a valuable contribution to the group. If we return the cartridges in bulk, printer manufacturers will pay us a small amount for each one towards our group funds. It may not be much for each cartridge, but if we can collect enough of them then the money soon adds up. Please wrap the old cartridge from your laser or inkjet printer, preferably in its original packaging or in a sealed plastic bag, and hand it to one of our leaders. If you work in an office, please ask if you may collect the empty cartridges and bring them to us. Thank you! http://www.3rdmoleseyscouts.org.uk/fundraising.htm The "100 Club" has just announced its third winner. Tickets in the 100 Club are still available, and the more people who enter the higher the prize money will becomes.
