Viking Venture Scout Unit closing ceremony

Event Description

For more event details the event website is here

The What

We start by unveiling something to remember the unit by, then, we get back together, talk about then and now. We eat, drink and say a collective thank you to Peter. Then we formally close the unit.

We  have an organising committee including currently, but not limited for too long I'm sure to:
Dave Prince, Ben Bellamy, John Warwick, Toby Clarke, Ian Shaw, Sean Ince, Andy Bond, Neil Davidson & James Prince. These are the people who are responsible for making it a great event, but you may get roped in at some point (nothing changes).

The Where
Hopefully many of you will start your Saturday doing the activities you used to do, or are still involved in. We will organise some of this, but hopefully some of you will organise and publicise your own sessions.
During the afternoon we will all meet up in Allestree for an unveiling ceremony at 4.30pm. There will then be time for a quick change if you want before its off to Derby Rugby Club in Darley Abbey from 7pm onwards.

Itinerary
Morning - Activities
4.30pm Unveiling in Allestree
7.00pm -11.30pm Derby Rugby Club

This Includes

A barbeque or buffet depending on the weather.

We should be able to provide drinks both soft and alcoholic but how long the bar will be "free" for, will depend on the numbers attending.

A slide show (of course).

A time wall - bring your viking memorabilia and pin it up to see what we got done over those 40 years and in what order.

A formal closing ceremony, top secret at the moment, but let's burn out not fade away.

A goody bag including some unique and classic momentos to remember your evening and what little reaminans of your rapidly fading youth.

Where does my money go?
Firstly no-one who is organising is getting paid or taking a cut that wouldn't be right.

You will be getting the following:

The presentaton will be custom made.

Venue hire - we got a good price.

Food - looks like quality stuff, menu to follow when we confirm.

Drink  - again the more the merrier you will be.

Ticketing costs, depends how you pay but roughly 3 pounds per ticket.

The closing ceremony - the more people come the better this element becomes.

Goody bags - the more people who come the better these will be.

If as we hope there is a surplus, any monies left over will go to local charities and we will let you know who gets what and have some say in the process.

And Finally

We are limiting this to 200 hundred tickets at the moment. If the demand is there we should be able to accomodate as many as we need to. There probably won't be another one of these, so book early so we can make it truly great
