1st Whickham wins the Wick's Trophy at Sports Day!

Scout Sports Day 2010 was on Saturday 20th June at Joseph Swan School and we won the Wick's Trophy for the 'best all round troop.' The trophy has been awarded since 1920 and we believe this is the first time 1st Whickham have won it, so well done too all those who turned up and made it possible! (Parents and leaders are, of course, included in this.)
