We were asked to do a stall to promote Scouting.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The DC sent the email to the other two Groups in the immediate area and the Local Explorer Group, so we organised a stall and arranged to man it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nawbus.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/06092008260-large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px\" height=\"184\" alt=\"06092008260 (Large)\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nawbus.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/06092008260-large-thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">We got there yesterday, set up and then waited for the crowds &#8211; which didn&#8217;t come! We got the feeling it wasn&#8217;t well publicised and the fact that it was throwing down with rain didn&#8217;t exactly help!<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">There were some great displays of belly dancing and a group doing Chinese Dragon dancing which helped to pass the time!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nawbus.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/06092008251-large.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px\" height=\"184\" alt=\"06092008251 (Large)\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nawbus.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/06092008251-large-thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">However, despite the fact we didn&#8217;t see many people, there were kids from the school there and we had a chat with them and drummed up some interest. We also spoke to the school&#8217;s new Head and some of the teachers and got some good contacts there.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">So although we didn&#8217;t recruit hundreds of kids for all three Groups and Explorers, if we encouraged at least one young person to join, then we succeeded. It&#8217;s on again today, although I&#8217;m not going, so it will be interesting to see how it goes on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About a month ago I was sent an email by our DC telling me about a Community &amp; Green Fair that was to be held at our local high school, which incidentally was my old school.
