Last year Lonsdale won Splash n Dash so we are defending champions.
If you want to be part of the team, remember its a District Team, then let Pierre know. We may be able to enter two teams if we have enough people.
Splash n Dash is a county Explorer and Network multi-activity adventure race, which takes place in October (2nd/3rd). It is run by county activity members / experts. The flier can be found here
The district Summer BBQ at Littledale is coming up, you need to buy your tickets soon to make sure you have some food!

On Sunday 18th July at 3pm-6pm at Littledale Scout Camp we will be having our annual BBQ. There will be games like Volleyball, 5-a-side Football, Rounders and Cricket and, above all a chance for you to get together with your friends before people start jetting off round the world for summer.
Tickets are £3 and are available at County Camp, and after that from your Unit Leader or me. craigdewar@hotmail.com
Spread the word it will be loads of fun, and it would be good if we could get as many people from the section there.

A course for Explorer Scouts
1st -3rd Oct 2010
Cost: £15 (the rest of the course is subsidised from a grant from LCC)
The course starts at 8:00 pm on Friday evening and is primarily aimed at improving paddlers, rather than complete beginners.
This means the focus for the weekend will be on BCU 2 star training (and assessment if candidates are up to that standard) or the completion of a FSRT course.(a safety and rescue course) This means both kayaking and canoeing will be an essential part of the weekend. Details of these course can be found on the BCU website www.bcu.org.uk/tests-and-awards
Please note any assessments will include an additional cost for certificates from the BCU (£5 for 2* and £10 for FSRT)
Participants should bring, personal equipment for a weekend in catered accommodation this include a couple of towels, and a sleeping bag.
The paddling will involve a large element of getting wet, so please bring appropriate clothing. A wet suit would be beneficial; footwear, waterproofs and a hat should also be brought whatever the weather.
All buoyancy aids & kayaking / canoeing equipment will be supplied
The course will finish about 3pm on Sunday 3rd October. Parking will only be available at Great Tower.
if you are interested please contact Stuart by email stuart.dean@blueyonder.co.uk
