Member’s Day at
Chalfont St Peter
The sun shone and the weather
warmed up for season-opening
Member’s Day at Chalfont St Peter
Tennis Club on Sunday 3rd April,
attracting over 70 members for a
fun tennis tournament, organised
by Head Coach Stephen, followed
by a delicious BBQ organised by
Social Secretary, Annie and her
team of volunteers.
The event was also
used as an Open
Day for the general
public, and several
potential new
members visited
the club to witness
the excellent
facilities for tennis
and social events.

Scouting - skills for life
I predict that most readers of this article
have had some connection with scouting,
and that many of you are aware that a
major event in the scouting calendar is
a huge international gathering - called
a World Jamboree - which takes place
every four years.
The next Jamboree will be in South Korea in 2023,
and about 40,000 Scouts from 200 countries will
be there. An event which Scouts lucky enough to
attend will remember for the rest of their lives.
Twenty-two scouts from groups in our local
area will either be in South Korea, Northern
Europe and Scandinavia. I hope you will
recognise some of them working hard over the
next year to raise funds for what will be expensive
trips! They will come back very different (young)
people, and I can promise these differences will
be not only for their own good, but good news
for the Buckinghamshire communities in which
they live.
So, if you see them out and about, stop and ask
them about their trips, and hopefully you will
make a small contribution to their funds!
