Lara Balchin-Murray - Scout Helper for the Scouts and Explores said:
"We could not have done this without the help of the Woolmer Forest Lions - its been a godsend. The new windows keep the building safe and secure."

CLEAN UP FOR THE QUEEN. 90th Birthday Celebrations.
Broxhead Common - May 21 2016
Woolmer Forest Lions are proud to help improve our community with a litter pick at Broxhead Common today.
A number of the club led by Vic Machin helped clear up the litter - "What people throw away is truly staggering", said one Lion.
Below are the Club Members who undertook the first shift

We received a nice comment from Peter E on the Streetlife website for Bordon regarding our clean-up efforts.
We were delighted to see our hard work being appreciated, and other people have echoed these comments.
We collected 19 bags of unwanted litter / bottles / cans etc and Vic Machin would like to thank the MOD for all their help and support, as well as the club members who took part.
