They are at it AGAIN - 19-06-2006

Yes, the District Fellowship had another day off from Scouting and took themselves to Rochester for a trip on the “Kingswear Castle”. This paddle steamer has twice been consigned to the scrap yard and then rescued. Today she is beautifully restored with polished brass and varnished woodwork. Even the working steam engines look as though they have just left the factory instead of having been in service since 1904. The boat itself, however, is younger, having been built in 1924.

Organised by Dave Hitchings, the Fellowship had a most pleasant afternoon, sailing down to the Thames, with a running commentary on the history of the river frontage and ex Navy Dockyards.

Making the most of the sunshine, the Fellowship let someone else do the work and were served afternoon tea, finishing with chocolate éclairs!

WHY NOT JOIN THE FELLOWSHIP?

We enjoy an active social side as well as supporting or organising District activities and events, and helping Scouting in many ways. For example, this month we are helping Young People with Special Needs at “Reach”, for Kent County; Swim Badge testing for Sevenoaks Beavers; maintaining the District HQ; and organising the seating and refreshments for the District AGM. Help, as much or as little as you can give is always welcome, as you would be.
