Venturers on Tuesday night (9/11/10) - change of plans
This Tuesday was meant to be our DIY night at Bunnings, but unfortunately they have been unable to accomodate us.
Because of this, I consulted with both Unit Chairmen, and they have decided on the Units' behalf to move our Theatresports night which was planned for 30th of November to this Tuesday instead.
Note, as our District Scout Wide Game night had already been moved to 30th November, we would have missed out on Theatresports, so now we still get to do it!
Anyway, here are the details:
Where: Mirage's Hall (Bignell Rd, East Bentleigh)
When: 7:30pm - 9:30pm (normal time)
What to bring: uniform (for parade only), an object that can be used as a "funny prop", a creative mind
Cost: nil
See you all on Tuesday!

July 13 - Ice Skating
For our first night back for Term 3, because it's nice and cold, we're going Ice Skating!
We'll be going to the new Icehouse rink at Docklands.
Here are the details:
Meet at 28th's hall (6 Wolsely St, Bentleigh) at 6:50pm (note early time). We will drive into Docklands from there.
Pick up from the same place at 9:30pm.
Cost is $12.50 for concession including skate hire (thanks to Tight Tuesday pricing!) [adult price is $13.25]
It's an ice rink, so you'll need to wear warm clothes. Avoid denim, because if it gets wet (which it will if you fall over) you'll stay cold all night.
Most importantly - if you are coming, you need to RSVP - I need to know how many car spaces I need to have organised. If you turn up and haven't told me you're coming, your parents will have to drive you in!
More details about the rink are at: http://www.icehouse.com.au/

Hike 17-18 April
Dear Venturers,
Just a reminder that we have a hike programmed from 17-18 of April. I am still available to come along to assist you (i.e. drive up x1 carload), and to help with planning.
However, I won't plan this hike. If you guys want to get it happening, it's up to you to get back to me with a plan of:
- Where do you want to go? - We were talking about the Cathedral Ranges
- How are we going to get there?
- What gear you're going to take (what do you need to borrow from the den/unit?)
- Organise maps (I may be able to help you out here, or at least point you in the right direction)
- Do you need to book campsites?
- Who's organising menus/food/cooking gear?
I'm more than happy to help out, but you guys need to be the one's with the momentum and the plans to get this hike happening.
Feel free to give me a call (number below) if you want to talk about this more. If I haven't heard from anyone by the end of Tuesday, I'll assume it's not on. Keep in mind Tuesday is cutting it VERY fine to begin organising... so if you're serious about this, get onto it now!
Cheers,
Rach

Combined Unit Beach Night 16-2-10
The next 2 weeks will be at the same location: the beach.
This week we are there just with a combined unit night, next week is our joint night with all the Scout Troops in the district.
As such, this week we will run through all the activities we'll be running for the Scouts next week, as well as having some fun of our own.
Details:
Where: Point Ormond Beach, Point Ormond Ave, Elwood (Mel 67 A2)
When: 7:00pm - 8:30pm (note early start and finish times)
What to bring: no uniform required, clothing will be weather dependent - if it's cold or damp, bring a jacket. Weather forecast is for not particularly warm weather, so I wouldn't plan on swimming.
I will need unit council members for about an hour after 8:30 to discuss things at a District level.
If anyone has issues with transport to get there or back, please give me call/SMS and we will arrange a lift for you.
