On Friday 7th November, 15 Beaver Scouts enjoyed pizza making for tea, and BBQ'd banana & chocs and Scout wagonwheels. Then they had a glowstick hunt and firework display in the grounds, followed by a movie evening with hot chocolate, getting ready for bed around 9 O'clock.
Saturday morning brought a breakfast treat, as by special arrangement the Community Shop Cafe was opened within the Goldthorpe Community Shop.
The Beavers were offered a range of delicious foods, from fresh fruit, pan-au-chocolate with a Full English in between. Filling up with cups of tea, fresh juices and milk.
Being greeted by Mr John Marren, the driving force behind the Community Shop concept, the Beavers were waited on, and John even served a few of his guests himself.

Goldthorpe Beavers with Mr John Marren |
Breeze (Andrea Reid) has worked with John at Company Shop Limited for over 25 years and was delighted, just as John was, being able to bring together these 2 community assets, within a year of both of them opening.
Thank you to all leaders and adult supporters with special thanks to Debbie and Chris for preparing the feast, and to John and his team for allowing it all to happen.
We also would like to thank policeman Shaun McDermott and his colleague for their company on Friday evening, checking that we were all safe and sound.
