R.L. brings to notice a Hut for sale at Irthlingborough, which he thinks could be taken down and rebuilt with the help of voluntary labour from the Parishioners and Scouts for a total cost of about £220.

|
These three sections of the group would need the use of a Room as follows:-
|
|
Cubs
|
1 night from
|
6.45
|

|
|
|
Scouts
|
1 night from

Rovers
|
Same night as cubs from 8 onwards
|
If the Parish could provide us with a piece of ground we could find a hut to put on it. A Hut to suit our needs would be about 36’ x16’ which would cost approx. £50.
A Hut for sale at Irthlingborough measuring 80’ x21’ with a floor area of 3,500 sq.ft. with a sale price of £125.
Would this place interest the Council as a Parish Hall if moved and erected at Rushden. Rector said that he would look over this place.
Failing these could we have the use of the Vestry Hall two nights a week and keep the existing rooms for Patrol Nights?
For a large Parish like Rushden there should be ample room for the different organisations but as there is no little co-operation between the different C parties this is not so.
