Break and enter at Hall

Hi all.

I am saddened to say that earlier this week some people took it upon themselves to break into the Hall by jimmying the front door lock and took the wooden combustion heater we installed last year, and it now appears they took our cash tin (empty-ironically).

We have reported this to the Police and are in the process of lodging an insurance claim.  We have also repaired and upgraded the security around the lock on the door to prevent this happening again (at least through this access point). We have also decided that the sensor lighting outside the Hall will be left on around the clock to make it less appealing for would be thieves, so we expect a bit more money to be spent on power.

Moving forward Andrew Murray (Quartermaster) and the committee will be investigating other security options to further harden our Hall.

I am bitterly disappointed at the fact someone in our community may have taken it upon themselves to steal one of our prized fixed assets, especially from our Scout Group.

If you have any questions, ideas or concerns please contact either myself or Group Leader Connie.
