Beaver Party

On Saturday 31^st January, the Beavers party took place at Crosfield hall, Romsey. Upon arrival, the Beavers were greeted by some very smiley and enthusiastic Beaver leaders all ready for an afternoon of fun and games.

The event started with some games whilst everyone arrived. Once all were there, the Beavers were led by Sue, District Beaver leader in singing songs with actions. She was helped by Kerrie, 21^st Leader and the young leaders.

The Beavers then were split into teams and played several games lead by Kate, 15^th Leader aided by all other leaders.  All the children enjoyed themselves and even the young leaders joined in.

The Beavers then went on to have food and drink which went down really well, during which Bertie the Beaver, the District Beaver Mascot paid a visit to see what his friends were up to.

After finishing their food, the Beavers were treated to a Marionette puppet show about a missing reindeer and a circus. The children were so engaged with the show we could hear their shouting in the other room. Even the leaders who sat at the back enjoyed it.

During the afternoon the Mayors of Romsey and Test Valley came to see what the beavers were doing. Both really enjoyed their time with the Beavers.

As part of the event, the Beavers were asked to bring along some food items which they did in large amounts. This was part of their community badge and was for the local food bank.

I would like to thank all the leaders who helped at the event running games, making the drinks and getting the food ready as well as helping to tidy up at the end and load all the food into my car.
