Term 1
What a term! We sure jammed it full of fun, and even when the weather didn’t help us out we had an awesome time.
There was Tournament night to kick off the term, the bike ride along the river, fishing (not ‘catching’) at Point Howard, Challenges night down at Epuni Hall, the trip up to H20 Extreme and to cap it all off, the Bon Fire – which turned out to be one of the best nights in a long time.
We also had a Junior Tramp on which 3 boys participated and graduated with flying colours. An experience we will remember for a while.
Term 2
Ahead of us lies Term 2. Its back into badges and hopefully there will be something for everyone. We have Target Badge and Safety for the Juniors, FM Radio and Electronics for the Middles, and Car Maintenance for the Seniors. It will be a productive and worthwhile term.
We also have 3 guests coming in to run Christian Education. Al Ronberg, the North Island Development Manager for BBNZ is coming down for a week. We’re also hoping to get familiar faces Hamish Campbell and Stewart Grey in to help out for the other two.
Subs
Term 2 newsletter will always have a reminder for subs. This year is no different. Subs are $70.00 for the whole year. This trails greatly in comparison to other extra-curricular activities such as music lesson, or sports teams. Please help us out by having your subs in to us by 4 May, 2009.
Snow Weekend
Later on in the year, we are wanting to take another trip for the boys up to the snow. There are rumours going around that the boys want a Snow WEEK, rather than a Snow Weekend. To do this, there will need to be some SERIOUS fund-raising before that eventuates. Any boy who wants to be apart of this trip needs to commit to this event in the first couple of weeks this term.
On behalf of the leaders at 10th,
Al Ingham, LIC Company Section.
