ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
It has been yet another busy year despite Entrust not using our facilities durAng ihc summ¢r, This has allowed us to
a¢¢omrnodate other visitors instead. Our initial fears that this would have an adverse impa¢t upon finances appe￿S to havc
been misplaced.
The dan￿ge done to some of the field8 over the previous years has had ihe opportunity to recovcr.
Everyone has worked iirelessly io empty the Activity Barn prior to demolition. It is astonishing what junk we found, som¢
of which had probably not seen the light of day since it arrived from Hulion Park. Evenrually, cverythin8 salvageable was
Stripped out and the barn is no mor¢. A clcar silc is r¢ady for building io commcncc once ground surveys are completc and
we are able to go out to lender.
We welcome, both as a Trust¢¢ of Bolton Scout Trust and Dir¢etor of Bibbys Farni Ltd, lan Jamcs who has b¢¢n involved
