Exciting new club
A FORMER Callington Scout leader has asked us to point out that she has resigned from the group, and not retired as we said last week. 'I'm not that old, honestly', says Diane Willsteed.
Diane is, in fact, going on to start an exciting new sports and outdoor adventure club for 8 to 14 year-olds, along with ex cub leader Trevor Norish.
The club is to be called SC2Y - The Adventurers and is being run under the auspices of Cornwall Youth Service and in collaboration with Stoke Climsland Sports Club.
There are a few vacancies and if anyone would like details they can call Diane on 01579 370709.
