A scarecrow’s work is never done!

Leave a comment
Scarecrow drive, Saturday, September 21st, St George’s Church, 5.30-8pm

It’s autumn , but while you might imagine that scarecrows can have a rest once the harvest is in, not so. Not only do they have to look after the newly planted winter wheat and other crops which are grown at this time of year, they may be called on to take part in a scarecrow drive or two?

A scarecrow drive? What’s that? It’s a seasonal beetle drive, where, instead of rolling a dice to collect parts of a beetle, you roll one to collect parts of a scarecrow. And we are holding one at St George’s on Saturday, September 21st from 5.30-8pm.

It’s a sociable evening suitable for all ages, and we’re throwing in a supper too for those who would like one. You need to pre-order and pay for it and the costs are: fish £10; chicken £9; sausage £6, veggie burger £7; all with chips. You need to let Kris Lawrence know by September 18th if you want to order the food. Click here to tell her. If you want to bring your own food, please do, but please still let Kris know if you are coming so that we know numbers.

There will also be a raffle and entertainment. Please let Kris know if you would like to take part in the entertainment.

Shake those dice! It’s time for a scarecrow drive!

We’re holding a scarecrow drive on Saturday, September 21st at St George’s, beginning at 5.30pm.

A what? Well, you’ve probably heard of a beetle drive, or even a snowman drive as we’ve held a few of those over the years. If not, or you need a reminder, at a beetle drive players sit round a table and compete to draw a complete beetle by rolling dice. Roll six to draw a body (which must be drawn first), five to add the head, three or four to add legs, two for antennae and one for a nose. In this case we will be rolling the dice to create a scarecrow.

The first player to complete their beetle yells ‘Beetle!’ (or ‘Scarecrow!’) and wins the round, earning points. The game typically includes multiple rounds, with players moving to different tables after each round, and the player with the most points at the end of the evening is crowed the winner.

The scarecrow drive will take place from 5.30pm to 8pm to enable younger children to take part. Tickets are £5 adults, £2.50 children.  Bring your own food and drinks, or pre-order and pay for fish £10; chicken £9; sausage £6, veggie burger £7; all with chips. Please pre-book so we know numbers. Let Kris Lawrence know (warden.stgeorges@badshotleaandhale.org) by September 18th.

The Giant Who Slept for Ten Thousand Years
Monday, August 12th, 10-11am
Ages 3+

Long before humans, in an icy fjord of the northernmost island, the last family of giants roam the land. Travelling inside and through the gorges and hills, they shape the landscape with their every step. Time passes, plants grow and fall – the mountains hide riches deep underneath the soil. People discover the fjord and cut the earth open for its wealth. Can they live together with giants and trolls peacefully?
A heart-warming story about our relationship to nature, friendship and the places we call home.
