Hounslow & Twickenham Woodcraft Folk

2025 will be Woodcraft Folk's 100th birthday and we're having an international camp to celebrate. There will be groups there from all over the world who, like us, are members of the IFM-SEI.

For 10 days next summer we will share cooperative values, play cooperative games, make new friendships, take part in educational workshops, enjoy adventurous activities and spend evenings chilling and singing songs around the campfire.

It's a life-enhancing experience and we'd like to give all our young people the opportunity to go. But there are some whose families can't afford it and they will miss out. Please help us raise the funds so that they can go to this once-in-a-lifetime camp.

We had a succesful taster day in the summer, where we gave new children a Woodcraft experience on a sunny afternoon in the garden where we meet. We recruited 8 or 9 new children at the start of term.

We've just been running another campaign for new members, with support from our comms officer, Lauren, at Woodcraft HQ. We're expecting 10 new children at next week's meeting!

It's going to be a very busy Wednesday!

September has come round again and we're looking forward to another year of fun activities. We have six new Eflins starting this evening. What a great start to the new year!

And on Friday our new Venturer group are off to Cudham, our Woodcraft centre in Kent, for a weekend with other Venturers from around London. The programme for the weekend includes

• ·Friday craft and social evening

• Saturday local walk and campfire evening

• Sunday bushcraft session

They're going to have a great time and we look forward to hearing about it next week.
