The clouds parted and the sun shone for the official re-opening of the Cub hut on Saturday. The day started with a treasure hunt around the village - did you know that there is only one female name on the war memorial, or that the Feather's Pub used to be called the Bell? There were also photos on display showing the renovation work on the hut and grounds - how easily I had forgotten how truly awful the hut was! (As if I could forget those toilets, that even the spiders refused to go near!!)
At midday the hut was opened by Rob Lyon, County Commissioner and Malcolm Treacher - they even had a letter of congratulations from the Chief Scout - Peter Duncan.
It was nice to see lots of scouts, families and leaders, past and present there - we even had our photo taken for the Herts and Essex Observer and Saffron Walden Reporter (don't forget to buy a copy!) The day was finished off with a smashing BBQ!
Thanks to all who attended and made the day a real success!
