In the News

Hi There were two bits in our local paper about the Gang Show assessment. It is kinda weird reading about something that you have been involved with & thinking yes that's me I was part of that & I'm going to be in the show. The news thing said about what we were doing and said that if any Scouts or Guides missed the assessment then they can still join in by coming to the first rehearsal. I thought that was really nice. If you want to read the article it is here http://www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk/wiltshire/archive/2004/09/24/swindon_news37ZM.html It also said that the show is from 9th-12th March next year, so at least people can mark it in their diaries. I am hoping to go and see the Bristol Gang Show in November, so I'll put an entry in here after I have seen it L8Rs T

Assessment

Wow that woz gr8.
I've just got back from the assessment & had to update my BLOG strait away.
We handed our forms in to the desk and then went into the hall, where there were about 60 people.
Once we were all there we started off by singing "Thank You for the music" then we did a sort of aerobic shake out to loosen up.
We then put some movement to the song that we had just learned.
After a drink break we split up into groups for some acting we had a sketch about Guides & Scouts (I don't want to say too much coz it is gonna be in the show & it mite spoil it)
Anyway I got to play a Guide, Chris & Chloe both played Scouts LOL.
That woz good fun. Then we did a dance routine to "We go together" from the end of Grease
That got a bit complicated. Eiz woz really good at that though.
We also got a chance to sing a solo so they could see wot our voices were like!!!!!!!

Anyway I'm really looking forward to November now. There are going to be loads of us there coz there were 60 people there in the morning & they had another session in the afternoon so there should be well over 100 in the cast.

I've been to a Party

Hi

This weekend a few of us got invited to Bath for a party.
In recognition of Bath Gang Show achieving the standard necessary to be awarded their Red Necker they were rewarded with a party.  It was a brill disco held at the University in Bath.  Practically everyone from the current & past cast & crew were there as well as supporters and friends.  Saw Laura Tom Amy Ben Katie & Aimee & their families again which was good & said hello to Adrian Mike Claire Clare Bev etc.  Tom has been awarded a place on their junior production team.

They start rehearsing on Wednesday & seemed really excited about it, whilst we have to wait another 2 months.
Still it is our assessment in 4 days time so I'll get a chance to see what it is all really about (hope I like it, otherwise this BLOG is going to come to a sudden end. Watch this space next week to find out.

Gilwell

Hi
Just a short note to say that I have just been camping at Gilwell Park for the weekend. Gilwell park is a big Scout campsite in NE London in Epping Forest. The first weekend in September they have a big event for Scout Leaders which was what this was. I went with Lydia coz her parents are both Scout leaders. It was really good fun and although it woz really for leaders there woz loads that we could do as well they had a wicked artificial rock tower about 15m high that we were able to climb.While we were there, the new Chief Scout was invested. The New Chief Scout is Peter Duncan who presented the programme travel bug & who was a former Blue Peter presenter.We saw some leaders there who Lydia knew from Swindon Gang Show so we had a bit of a chat about that. I'm really looking forward to it now, only 2 weeks till the assessment.
