Scouts prepared to deliver

The 1st Wootton Bassett Scout Group will benefit again this year from the Christmas card delivery scheme for which special post-boxes will be available from this weekend at Budgens, the Library, Haine and Smith and Radways.

Scout post must not be put into Royal Mail boxes, where it would incur a surcharge of 46p.

The 14p Scout stamps may be purchased at Radways, Haine and Smith and Bevirs.

The delivery area includes Swindon, Cricklade, Blunsdon, Highworth, Stratton St Margaret, South Marston, Watchfield, Shrivenham, Lydiard Millicent, Wanborough, Bishopstone, Wroughton, Liddington, Chiseldon, Wootton Bassett, Hook, Purton, Tockenham, Bushton and Clyffe Pypard.

Other towns and villages are not covered by this scheme. More information can be obtained from Wootton Bassett's local co-ordinator, Vic Miller, on (01793) 853655.

The last date for posting Scout mail is December 13.
