Does that do all cubs and scouts or what would cost be for 10 or 20 children? (May have something up my sleeve)

Pontyslapper. What are the things you guys are doing as a troop to raise funds. I saw something about old mobile phones. Anything we can do there? I have always had old ones in drawers.
Plus..... I have an irritating workphone i am just itching to bin right now

Brought a Landy to LZ11. Yay!!
We do cash in old mobiles. Its dried up with the magpie type firms who advertise heavily. We tend to get old knackered 3310s which are worthless.

Daniel. You are like the yoda of purchasing. I'm a mere student of the art. I was just feeding off the amazon idea to just get a few last odds and ends. The 5 mallets would cover the whole fleet of tents any more and scouts try lamping each other with mallets!
The bowls would've been to retire some old ratty ones that are probably 40 years old with busted enamel wtc. If you can work some magic so be it. If it helps we can forgo the mallets as I can probably get some locally when Tesco start heavy reductions. Our Tesco have boxes and boxes of mallets. Last year it was axes. I had a dozen at 25p each!!

Just for transparency. At the bottom is the message from the chap who is supplying the storm kettle to replace our old worn out one. Its brand new, but 'second hand' never used - a bargain at £36.95 delivered as it cost him almost £60 new from Amazon. So we scored a bargain I think!!
Money squirted across via bank transfer. I threw the extra in the pot to secure this, also thanks to MHM for his donation for making this last minute addition possible.
Again a massive thanks to all LZer's who have donated towards the tents, pole kits, knives and the storm kettle - rest assured I will get photos of the troop using and enjoying the fantastic new kit that LZ has made possible.

Don't blame the HSE, it's the Scouts' own rules.
A bit like the CRB/DBS system. In addition to CRB/DBS clearance, adult helpers in the Scouts must accept " Duty to God carrying into daily principles
of a religious faith or belief; belonging to a religious body; accepting that there is a higher being. " Source https://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/search/?cat=268,269

Would it be ok to have the spare via paypal for it to be used as the LZ sausage, sauce n marshmallow fund?
I think that would be great. I was going to suggest that the scouts themselves have a vote on how to spent the extra and I am sure it would have been just this that would have won the vote!

No probs. About a tenner gets us sausages, sauce n marshys for cubs n scouts for a fire night when we have a joint one. So there's 7 nights that we can do! Lets hope we get some dry Tuesdays this winter. Thanks again everyone.
