Protecting Walton Firs Campsite – Surplus Centenary Camp Funds
Hi Everybody
Apologies but this letter has just arrived from the Richmond District regarding surplus funds from the summer Centenary Camp. It outlines the options to either have these returned or to use them as a donation to support the purchase of Walton Firs Campsite. Full details are in the attached letter. Responses are required by 8 December 2007.
It is entirely up to yourselves to decide on a refund, it’s £16 per eligible cub / scout. But as a Group we would strongly encourage you to consider supporting Walton Firs in this way to protect the site from developers and to ensure it remains available as a Scouting resource for your own children and for the many thousands of Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to come.
To make things easy, the District have elected to use a “no response required” system. If they don’t hear from you then they will assume you are happy to donate your surplus. Please note as well that by making the donation we can claim Gift Aid for the Group, so this will directly benefit our our Cubs too.
So options are:
1) Do nothing, the District will donate your surplus to the Walton Firs Foundation.
2) Complete the tear off slip and return it as required and the District will issue a refund to you directly.
Thanks all.
