Rama's Roundup - Mar/Apr 2018

Thank you to all those who have welcomed me to meetings over the last couple of months. Apologies to those I haven’t mentioned.

I would like to start by recognising and congratulating Victoria Campbell, an Explorer with Discovery Unit in Bury St Edmunds. Victoria and a friend witnessed a vehicle come off the road and strike a wall in Ixworth just before Christmas. It transpired that the driver had an epileptic seizure behind the wheel and Victoria and her friend, calmly managed the scene, called the emergency services and summoned assistance until the paramedics turned up. The grateful driver later appealed in the Bury Free Press to locate the “Good Samaritans” and was reunited with his rescuers to say thank you. Well done, a splendid effort in the true spirit of Scouting.

The Ringtail Review - Mar/Apr 2018

Elmer 2018 has flown by already, I can’t believe it’s March already! And I have been already looking ahead to 2019 with the launch of St Elizabeth Hospice’s next sculpture trail. Elmer celebrates his 30th Birthday next year along with the hospice and we have purchased an Elmer.

My thanks to my County Beaver Leader Ann Robertson, in Sudbury for arranging a team to decorate this elephant. It will be covered in a patchwork of programme all over but what badges do you wish to include?

Rama's Roundup - Jan/Feb 2018

Rama’s Roundup – (all suggestions gratefully received for an alternative title!)

Firstly may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy New Year.

Last term I managed to get out to start visiting several troops, units and districts and would like to thank you all for your hospitality. It some respects it was a term of campfires with a fantastic bonfire and fireworks display at Bungay (good luck in devising the next method of lighting the bonfire on a raft on the middle of the river) and Bury District’s Carols around the Campfire at RAF Honington.
