Re: ISLE OF WIGHT

Just read about your visit in May. You must contact me as I wrote a history of Scouting on the Island for the Centenary in 2007. Colin very kindly allowed me to print some articles. The book lists a number of famous scouters including Doctor Kennedy (see Train Cruises) Lord Somers (the original house he lived in burnt down - amusing?? story in my book regarding trying to put fire out) BP visits to woo Rose Kerr Sea Scout Uffa Fox Lord Louis Mountbatten etc. We are now adding the birth place of the current Chief Scout to that list. Contact me for a copy of the book in DVD format. Barry
