3rd Hampton Hill Scout Group

On 16th October a merry band of dolphins fish took to the waves and competed against the rest of Richmond District Cubs. In a watery battle of widths and lengths and following the gradual improvement over the past few years, from finishing 13th, then 12th, then 8th last year, I was hoping for a tremendous 4th. But alas …

Why stop at 4th when you can achieve joint 2nd

Well done to all, that’s an absolutely fabulous result.

(More details to follow when I know exactly who came where and in what!)

Hi Everyone. What is it with this term…stuff never seems to stop happening!! Please see attached details of Cubs district swimming gala from Sara H:

Last year’s cub swimming gala was fantastic, with 3HH putting in a fine team performance. Looking for keen swimmers of all ages and abilities to take part.

There are races for two ages groups, with width and length distance. We need a lot of cubs to be able to take part in every race so please join in. (We had 7 cubs last year which meant we missed a race, and some cubs had to make super human efforts in several races. 10 would be better, and more fantastic). There are heats then finals which makes a minimum of 13 races – last year it was 19 !

We’re also seeking parents to help on the evening – Fiona (poolside champion in charge last year) has kindly agreed to run the evening, but she will need help. Salim (our secret parental swimming expert) has also offered coaching if anyone would like this, and can find a venue.

Attached details for your information. I am happy to co-ordinate, with Fiona in charge on the night. Do please let us know as early as possible so I can reply on Friday 10th with our entry. Details of preferred distance and stroke appreciated.

Many thanks Sara
