Date:13^th October 1999 Duty Patrol Tonight: Penguins Next Duty Patrol: Albatross

The Hall grand opening is planned for Saturday 23 October – a family sign-up sheet was handed our last week. Please make sure you get your reply slip back on time or phone one of the contacts. Scouts please wear your uniform.

Your last opportunity to complete your Water Rockets launcher is THIS SATURDAY at the Heath's house at somestreet St. Meet at 2pm and pick-up at 5. There is a park close by, so bring your rocket for test firing.

Once again this fantastic value event is being organized by First Waverley. Parents, families and friends have the opportunity to buy good quality "clean skin" wines at a great price. An added bonus is that this event helps to keep the scout fees down, while enabling the group to offer a wide range of activities. Please encourage your parents to support this fund raiser. Get them to take the form to their workplace and see how easy it is to help support our scout group.
Orders are due on or before 23^rd October, Wine Bottling takes place on 6^th November.

November is "camping month" for 1^st Waverley.
