Letter from the Group Chairperson (17th May)

Dear Parents, Guardians and friends of 4th Runcorn Scout Group,

The time has come around again where we hold our AGM. It will be held online on Thursday 17th June 2021 at 7pm via Zoom. It is an opportunity for us all to see what has been happening, where we are at, updating our committee, and looking at our accounts.

This email is to ask, in preparation of the AGM, if any parents are interested in joining the committee. We always welcome new people and would love to see some more parents joining us. We have a very strong Executive Committee and would love for you to be a part of it. If you are interested, can you express that in an email to either Keith Marnell or myself by 28th May 2021.

We look forward to seeing you!

Yours in Scouting,

Carol Walker
