Accounts should have been paid on 29 May
As you are aware invoices have been sent out to all families and unfortunately many accounts are now over due.
Payments must be received NOW for your children to be re enrolled. No child will be re registered if Group Committee has not received payment. We can not presume that children will be coming back, so a financial commitment must be made.
Any children who are not registered will not be insured and as such will not be able to participate in our Pack program.
Astrid Taylor is our Group contact if any parents or leaders have any questions; her contact details are on your invoice.

We have several experiments planned, however, sometimes our Mad Scientists get a little carried away and… sometimes things just tend to change on the night. For this week we will put on our lab coats, don our safety glasses and practice our evil chuckles.
What are some of the things we be doing?
- Slime Monsters!
- Is it ACID is it BASE, would it burn Akela’s face?
- UV lights and glowing things
- Monster Magnets

DINOSAURS! The night of the terrible lizards Cubasaurus maximus
Tonight we go all prehistoric as we roam around the hall to discover the secrets of the Cubasaurus maximus
It’s very simple why kids are crazy about dinosaurs — dinosaurs are nature’s Special Effects. They are the only real dragons. Kids love dragons. It’s not just being weirdly shaped and being able to eat Buicks.
It’s that they are real.
– Robert T. Bakker, Honolulu Advertiser, Jul. 9, 2000
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.
