Scouts present Christmas Cheque + St. George!

The Romsey Opportunity Group has been established in Romsey for more than 40 years. They provide support and help to under school age children who have been identified as having special needs. The group meet twice weekly in the Appletree Centre, behind the library, where with support from appropriate therapists, the volunteers are able to encourage the children to start on the road to reach their full potential.




Romsey District Scouts held a Christmas event in December (in lieu of a carol service - pictures here) and donations were requested for refreshments etc. Over £100 was raised and this has now been donated to the Opportunity Group to help support them in their very valuable work. David Sutton (Vice President of Romsey Scouts) made the presentation to Lyn Bird, ROG Family Co-ordinator.

A picture of the St. George's Banner carried in Romsey Abbey yesterday, if anyone else has photographs from the St. George's day parade that they don't mind going public (i.e. children or adults have given their permission) please can they send to romseywoodsmoke@googlemail.com   Many thanks.
