THE JUMBLE SALE IS COMING!

Our Jumble Sale regularly attracts over 300 customers. It has been a great success and given us plenty of happy times. Its a perfect day out for Jumblers and raises much needed money for the group.

A proper jumble sale with a BBQ serving refreshments and some amazing finds such as clothes, books, comics, jewellery, brick-a-brack, toys, electrical items and much much more.

Schedule:

We welcome any donations you think might be suitable. Either bring your items along on the 20th or contact us before hand and we will arrange a pick up.

Volunteers are needed to help with the distribution of leaflets, collection of Jumble, sorting and manning the stalls on the day of the sale. We will also need help with clearing up after the event.

If you are able to help or need additional information please contact the Jumble Sale organizer, Deirdre Edwards on 01923 771626.

ELECTRICITY AFFILIATE SCHEME

Simon Theobald, Group Scout Leader

Batchworth Sea Scouts have recently changed our electricity supplier to LoCO2 Energy, a local company supplies renewable and low carbon electricity to homes and small business, thus reducing our carbon footprint and improving our environmentally friendly credentials.

LoCo2 are well known and respected within the renewable energy industry with over 10 years experience; they also own and run hydro power stations throughout the UK. As part of Batchworth Sea Scouts arrangement with Loco2, we have also entered into an affiliate scheme. The idea behind the affiliation scheme is to encourage Batchworth Sea Scouts to sign up to LoCO2 Energy to benefit the group on an ongoing basis.

ESTATE AGENT PARTNERSHIP

Simon Theobald, Group Scout Leader

Batchworth Sea Scouts have entered into a partnership with one of the area’s newest and most exciting Estate Agencies. Place Estate Agents do not operate from “High Street” premises, which provides customers with many advantages.

If any supporters of Batchworth Sea Scouts decide to BUY or SELL a property in the area and then decide to use PLACE estate agents please remember to mention Batchworth Sea Scouts. PLACE Estate agents will make a donation of £200 to Batchworth Sea Scouts for every sale referral via Batchworth Sea Scouts which proceeds to completion.
