We still continue to "man" the "coffee mornings" in Ridgedale and on 29 occasions the troop again ran this event.
 

On 12 occasions we helped run the bingo sessions but unfortunately due to low attendances over the last 6 months the Ridgedale Bingo Committee decided to close down the bingo after 27 years.  The last event was held on 25th March 2011.
 

On 3 occasions during this quarter we helped sort items delivered to the Salvation Army Charity Store in Tisdale.  As always proceeds raised were for local charities.

Our member with musical talent entertained various seniors centres and care homes in the area with friends on 9 occasions.
 

Helping Hands  -  Assisted with the organising of 2 local snow mobile rallies.  Quite a few people in the area "go south" for the winter (they are known as SNOWBIRDS) and members carried out 40 security checks on private property and/or fed the peoples pets during their absence.  Elderly people were also helped to clear snow from their driveways, paths ,etc.
