Jacqui and Andrew Shaw of Clanfield’s Costcutter Store, were delighted to present a £1000.00 cheque to Alan Burton for 1st Clanfield Scout group. The money was raised by the customers of Costcutter purchasing featured promotional products over the last year or so. This brings to a total raised for the Scout Hut by the store, to almost £1900.00.
The Community lost a valuable amenity 4 years ago when arsonists burnt down the Scout hut in Little Hyden Lane. The building was used 7 days a week by all the community, so its loss was felt by all. The new building is now nearing completion and will be very environmentally friendly, with Ground Source Heating, Solar panels and rainwater recycling to flush toilets. The new Scout Headquarters will be ready for use in the next few weeks, although funds are still required before the project can be said to be complete.
