URGENT: We are desperate for help and one of our officers retired last year which makes the situation worse and also I am going into hospital shortly for a hip replacement in October. On Thursday evenings both in the Anchor Boys and Junior Section, help is the most urgent. If you can help in any of the Sections I would be most grateful. Helpers may be male or female.
Bob Bremner, Captain
