Woodies at Edinburgh Castle
It’s not often you get to see Woodies dressed up. Usually we’re on camp, low on clean clothes, face paint on our faces and friendship bracelets scruffily shown off. However, in an unlikely turn of events, 10 Woodies met on a warm evening in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, wearing.... business wear! Why? Because Alex Salmond, First Minister of Scotland, had invited us to a party.
The United Nations have dubbed 2012 as the “Year of the Co-operative” and Scotland is taking it seriously.
"A super sunny successful day"
About eighty Woodies from the Districts of Hounslow, Tolworth & Kingston, Knaphill, Spelthorne, Teddington and Walton districts came together for a Geocaching and other games day at Virginia Water Lakes and Park in Egham, Surrey.
