On Sunday the 2nd November a team of stilting stalwarts braved the drizzle and damp grass to entertain the several thousand who attended the Round Table event at Kings Heath cricket club, thanks to Andy, Mr T, Scotty, LittleT and Little J.  we even got a ‘Thank you’ from several of the organisors, it was a great night even though it was a little bit damp around the edges.

We all attended the reunion again this year, and had good fun, except the ground was so wet and aweful that we did the whole weekend without doing any stilting at all, that is one for the record books.  well we saw quite a few international camps for next year so we hope to be able to announce our next camp in the not too distant future.

 Just got to put away all those wet tents and the season will be over again for another year.

The stilt team have all returned from a great week at Essex Jamboree.

we all had a great week and 22 of our kneckers have been awarded to a really great team of kids who showed great skill in learning to walk on the stilts.

we are looking forward to our next outing

Dan Burton of HQ has put a rather good Article in the Scoutiong magazine.  He just failed to mention that he left before we finished!

Rainbow Dave has suceeded when the rest of us wimps all just said no. She has completed the London Marathon on Stilts and completed it in Just over 8 Hrs, smashing her half Marathon record on the way round, so apart from being a real star who has raised huge amounts of money for Charity she in now an official world record holder.  Makes the rest of the team look very poor.  Now she is a world record holder, will she get any more ‘Star’ Treatment 

Just when we thought it was safe to go out the ‘Captain’ makes another staring role in scouting, first the calendar now the on line magazine, where will it end up Captian for Chief Scout!

The Stilt team have been pictured at the Cub and Beaver Funday, The shot does not show the entire team, but we all remember it was rather Hot!!  We will have to get ourselves a few more costumes for next year to keep the pace up!

Both Hattie and Dave took part in the Children in need Charity event in London on That Friday They spent most of the day on their Bockers and I think they enjoyed it it was great that 57 of them all joined and that they got the record.

The 2007 team made a gereat impact on the WSJ and we had loads of the Campers up on the springy stiltsover the entire 9 days of activity.  We had stilters from at least 25 countries on the stilts and together with great support from other IST and OST members, Josh, Paulo, Cat, Dan, Randy to name just a few we had a great time.  We even managed to get on TV and on the BBC Website
