The field used by the scouts in Sidmouth (and intended to be the dance venue field) is having its mains electricity supply connnected sometime soon. They were digging the trench for the cables this week.

There is a plan to erect a new scout hut on the site at some future date. The electricity supply is costing £22,000 according to the local paper.

The proposed new scout hut is costing a reported £200,000 - you can build a sizeable house for that - excluding the land cost! Fundraising is ongoing.
