Parents are encouraged to stay and support our team in their games through the evening.
Friday 3rd and Friday 10th May will see 1st Egham Cubs take to the Manorcrofts playing fields (adjacent to Egham Railway Station) for some football practice, ahead of the District football competition on Friday 17th May.
Given the unpredictability of the English weather, if it’s raining at 4pm on either Friday 3rd or Friday 10th, we’ll meet in the United Church of Egham hall.
We’ll meet at Manorcrofts playing fields at 7pm as per usual, and Cubs should be collected from there at 8:30. Please dress your Cub appropriately – we’ll be getting them to run around, so t-shirts under their Cub jumpers and trainers (or similar) on their feet! (If your child is wearing studded football boots, please ensure one of the leaders is made aware!)
Cubs are welcome to bring their own footballs, but will be responsible for making sure they have it at the end of the evening.
Please complete the permission slip below for the Football Practice. (Please add “Event Title” as “Football Practice” and “Event Date” as “03-05-2013 & 10-05-2013”)
The latest count has revealed that we’ve so far collected an amazing
2,962 Active Kids Vouchers
With just 3 weeks to go, this is a phenomenal achievement and we’d ask that you keep up the fantastic work – when the scheme finishes, we’ll then publish the grand total, and see what we can purchase for 1st Egham to use and enjoy!
It’s time to dust off those hiking boots, as we’ll be venturing out for a Pirates Hike on Friday 26th April.
Meeting point will be the Staines Riverside Car Park (just past Debenhams on the waterfront) at 7pm.
We’ll then be hiking along the river and the collection point will be at the end of Riverway (first right turn after Notcutts garden centre) and we’ll be aiming to arrive there at 8:30pm. (There should be sufficient car parking in Riverway. Once you’re parked, walk to the end of Riverway, down the footpath between the houses, and turn right at the end of the footpath where we’ll be waiting)
Please ensure that your Cubs bring the following items with them:
– Water bottle (we’ll have no drinks to provide)
– Suitable footwear for walking
– A waterproof jacket in case the English weather turns!
We’ll need permission slips handed in before any Cubs can participate
