PTA Fun Run 5k route revised

In a minor change the route of the five kilometre Fun Run for Saturday 24th March has been altered to avoid potential hazards.

The previous route took in the Boggs Holdings main road which lacks pedestrian footpaths. The revised route now avoids this, making it both safer and requiring fewer marshals on the day.

Updated PTA Fun Run 2012 Map with Marshal points

However the organisers are still looking for a few more helping hands. Please read on to find out how you can help…

Help Cubs & Beavers return to Pencaitland

Can you spare a couple of hours a week to help the youth of the village and keep them occupied? Not that long ago Pencaitland had a thriving Beaver Colony and Cub Pack. However both closed due to lack of leaders.

beaverslogo

We’ve been asked by Heather Jackson and Fiona Hopkinson of ADC Cubs to pass on their plea to the people of Pencaitland, Boggs Holdings, New Winton and Glenkinchie…

“Our plea is to try and resurrect both Beavers and Cubs within Pencaitland as both Haddington and Tranent are unable to meet demand and both have waiting lists that are bursting at the seams!!

We are looking for interested parties, male or female aged 18+ who are enthusiastic, motivated and like children to get involved with the Scout movement. No experience is necessary as full training is given.

If you would like more information or think this could be you then please email Heather Jackson at heather.1963@live.co.uk or Fiona Hopkinson at email@davidhopkinson@live.co.uk.

Thanks

Heather Jackson and Fiona Hopkinson
ADC Cubs”

We published an article on this process back in January this year.

The culmination of this exercise was a submission from your Community Council, which can be read below…
