Romsey Show 2013

Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to the Districts presence at Romsey Show this year.   Just a few photographs to remind those who attended what happened on the day and to those who were not there what they missed!

 Note the orange polo shirts a new addition to those who helped this year

The total amount of profit on the assault course this year was £337.26, plus a £2 donation received for some milk and a piece of Kay's delicious flapjack, makes a grand total of £339.26.  This is thought to be the best year ever –  the weather was perhaps a major contributor.

Unfortunately, Romsey District Scouts only took second prize in their category this year – the judges obviously felt they ought to give someone else the joy of remembering to return the trophy in July next year!
                                                  

Those who help at the show also have an opportunity, at some point in the day,  to walk around and look at the other attractions.  James Brace has helped at the Show ever since he was a Beaver Scout and he told us of someone he was delighted to meet.  

"During this years Romsey Show I was fortunate to meet Alex Langlands from Victorian farm and wartime farm. He was there to help judge the horses as he is the president of  one of the working horse groups. His main claim to fame was on the popular Edwardian, Victorian and wartime farm which showed him as a worker in the 3 different ages with Ruth  and Peter who are now making Tudor farm, but without Alex as he needs to do some work at university. When asked what he learnt it was committed to say “ I learnt a lot and I am writing a book on the history of farming”. He also said that he really enjoyed the experience. He was very pleased to have come over and had the rest of the day judging and meeting people."
