It is a famous event in the Scouting and Girlguiding world and is renowned for being one of the best jamborees. e event is held in a huge eld near Chelmsford in Essex, the 120-acre green eld is transformed by 1,500 volunteers into a fully operational tented village with all the facilities you would expect, like water, showers, toilets, electrics, communications, food distribution, health and welfare services and even a beach! Hythe & Waterside Rotary received an email from Tash’s mum saying: “Tasha has asked me to send you an email to say thank you for all of your support in sponsoring her to represent the South West Region of Girlguiding at the Jamboree. Natasha arrived yesterday and they have set up camp. There are around 10,000 Girl Guides and Scouts in attendance from around the world and Tasha is so excited to be part of this amazing event. I am sure she will come home with lots of stories to tell and new experiences to share. Please also pass our thanks onto the rest of the group, we have been so grateful for everyone’s support and making us feel welcome at your club.” Tasha will be visiting Hythe & Waterside Rotary again later this year to share, rst-hand, her stories of attending the EAJ. Tasha on high ropes Local Businesses Support Hythe Ferry Garden On ursday 22nd August, local plumber Mark Shea, gave his time free to install a new outside water tap to make it easier for the volunteers at the Hythe Ferry garden to keep everything well-watered. Mark tted the tap using materials that had kindly been donated by Daniel Osman of DO Plastering in Marchwood. Once installed, volunteer gardener Christine attached the garden’s Skyaya expandable water hose to the tap. Ian Ti en from the New Forest Tea Company donated the hose to the Hythe Ferry Garden. Christine tested it out, watering all the plants in the garden, she comments: “It is so much easier than having to carry watering cans over the train tracks to the other side to water the plants. A thank you to our team of watering volunteers, Jane Stiles, Frank Ingram, and Cate Lambert . We are extremely grateful to all concerned in getting us a new tap, to keep our plants flourishing for all to see and enjoy. Well done everyone!” Christine is now planning for Autumn, Winter and Spring owers to keep the Ferry garden looking colourful and attractive for all to enjoy. Mark Shea
