Car Parking
Every year, the Explorer Commissioner gets asked by Lakeside Railway (Thomas the Tank Engine) if a few Explorers wouldn't mind car parking during the 3 busy event weekends. This is mainly open to explorers and they get paid to do it. Peter kindly opened it up to us WSJ lot as well so we could use the money made from car parking, to help fundraise.
So far some of us have car parked on 2 out of the 3 event weekends. The Railway Staff are very grateful for our efforts and the customers find it less stressful with us there to help find them a parking space.
We are unknown of the monies that we have been paid yet. We will know during the autumn term.
Car Washing at the Potters Heron
Every year the staff at the Potters Heron pub in Ampfield put on a complimentary car wash for those fathers who have booked the Father's Day Meal.
We had a load of bidding Scouts/Explorers joining up to help with this event; some were WSJ and some were not.
We got paid £5 per car and it was some time ago so I cannot remember the full total we made!
I would upload some photos but due to a technology failure, I am unable to get them off my phone at this moment in time; they will be up soon!
