thanks mick for help with photos i hope i've done it right. yes the brook is the river maun they now have a swimming pool there and a climbing wall and the chapel last time i went had been moved to whitewater wood which is on the left just past the providor.

Hi everybody, last october we had a reunion of the 48th nottingham(highbury school)scout groupwith ex members attending from 40 plus years ago the founder of the group was Ken Jones who at the time was a teacher at Highbury school. we are hoping to organise another reunion in the new year and would like more members to attend , i will try and post a picture of the group from 40 years ago at walesby

now thats interesting in 1988 i took the 28th for their master at arms badge and as a thank you they invited me on there summer camp at Walesby which was an international jamboree but there was no lads with them names in the 48th when i was there. thanks for the reply paulus its good ther are people out there who enjoyed scouting
