Scouts provide hot refreshments to sledgers

On Saturday leaders from the 1st Henley Scout group set up a refreshment tent on Drawback Hill, a renowned sledging hotspot.

Leader Derek Harding said: “I came down on Friday night at around 6pm and thought it would be a good thing to do.”

A couple of leaders put up a tent on Saturday morning and they then made bacon rolls and served hot drinks as well as lighting a fire which served as a “warm up zone”.

There were about 200 people on the hill and everyone loved the refreshments.

Derek added “This is about the Scouts trying to provide a service and do something for the community.”
