Black Cherry Fair

Posted on July 12th, 2016 by tja

Everything 1st Chertsey do, they do it for you!

Saturday 9th July saw the Group at the Black Cherry Fair, participating in the parade, and also catering for all those attending the main fairground.

Our float – themed on Robin Hood – won the award for “Best Club or Charity”. Well done all!

Thanks to everyone who helped with the float, the costume (awesome), the parade, the stall, and the clear-up!

Epic Waterfight and Fire Station Visit

Posted on July 1st, 2016 by tja

Green Watch at Chertsey Fire Station kindly hosted an hour of learning and fun for Bourne Beavers. After learning all about Surrey Fire and Rescue, and what to do in an emergency, Bourne Beavers were given a tour of a fire engine, including climbing aboard, and were then let loose with the fire hoses and a lot of water!! What fun!! Thank you, Green Watch!
