The 5th Putney Sea Scouts are offering , not only one of the best spots to watch the University Boat Races, but a barbeque and a chance to win prizes in a raffle.
Its scout hut, which is on the towpath near the starting point at Putney Embankment, gives a clear view of the action while sitting on a chair in the garden.
The barbecue, bar, cake stall and toilets will be on offer between 12pm and 5pm on Saturday 30 March with all welcome.
There will be special live performances by SW15 Music, a group of tutors who offer free music lessons to children in Wandsworth.
Boat Race Day is the most important fundraising event of the year for 5th Putney Sea Scouts, raising funds for essential repairs to the hut. It gives members of the community an opportunity to support local children to lead healthy, adventurous young lives.
Chris Hayes, Scouter-in-Charge, said, “Come rain or shine, our volunteers and young people will be working hard at the Scout Hut on Boat Race Day, flipping burgers, pouring drinks and serving up tasty cakes to members of the public. It’s always a brilliant day and one that’s so important for 5th Putney Sea Scout Group, so please join us and help make this year extra special.”
This year the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers will also be selling raffle tickets throughout the day, with fantastic prizes donated by local businesses including a Fortnum and Mason hamper, West End theatre tickets and a voucher for a local restaurant.
