Beavers and Cubs.  Health and fitness- slimming world, judo club, Bokwa etc.

11. The finished article!  Both teams worked very hard and had a clear idea of what it is that they wanted to do. I hope they both enjoyed their time here with us, and we look forward to perhaps more partnership work next year. Thanks to Team Reiss and Team Sabesan. Thanks also to Paul and Alex for fitting the tiles, to Julian at Artist Supplies for his advice, and the free materials which he gave us, and thanks of course to NCS- The Challenge.
