SCOUT
BANGERS MASHED OFF THE MENU AS SCOUTS SERVE UP TOP NOSH FOR VILLAGE V.I.P.s Scouts from 1st Adderbury recently treated village VIPs to a slap up meal in recognition of the major contributions they have made to the local community – and "camp charred bangers and mash" were definitely not on the menu! As part of their Chief Scouts’ Award three of the Troop’s oldest members decided to honour the villagers to a culinary feast as a thank you for all the hard work they do in the area.
Enjoying the mouth-watering treats were Parish Councillor, Colin Banbury and his son Nigel (Mr Banbury is also a member of the team proposing a new community centre for the village); Robert and June Stilgoe (Mr Stilgoe is a local farmer, ex-Parish Councillor, and village committee member); and Trevor and Nicky Maltby (Mr Maltby has just retired as the Scout Group’s chairman after several years and is well known locally in fund raising circles). Scouts Ross McCrickerd, Oliver Davies and James Sollis (all 15) prepared the following meal with wine:
The Scouts prepared the whole meal themselves using fresh ingredients. Mr Banbury passed his congratulations and thanks to the three Scouts for "the splendid dinner and most enjoyable evening. The Scout Group can be proud of them". Mr and Mrs Maltby said, "The Scouts obviously worked very hard – we had no idea they were such good cooks. We think they should now treat their mums as we’re sure they would enjoy it as much as we did!". Mr and Mrs Stilgoe were delighted. They said, "We wish to thank the Scouts very very much for the wonderful meal and a very pleasant evening." Scout Ross McCrickerd thinks the evening went well. He said, "We really wanted to serve up an excellent meal and fun evening for our guests for the part they play in the Adderbury Community. Mr and Mrs Stilgoe are always involved in village events and often help the Scout Group. Mr Maltby has worked very hard as the Scout Group’s chairman for the past few years. Mr Banbury is an Adderbury Parish Councillor and is very involved with the village’s plans for a new Community Centre which is really needed in the village." |
