This page is a list of places you might like to consider for meetings, and in some cases for Nights Away. Below are ones we have been informed of (and in many cases used) already. Some places have max / min age limits.
If you have any to add, or find a problem / updated information for any of these, just let Louise, Jamie or Connel know and we can amend accordingly.
Don't forget to mention it is for scouting use, that often brings a discount / free stuff!
Sometimes you might need the address / postcode for our normal meeting places (do not use these for correspondence etc though!)
