Stratton Scouts and Guides Brave the Cold for Easter Camp
4:26pm Wednesday 26th March 2008
Stratton Scouts and Guides, Rangers and Explorer Scouts braved the bizzare Easter weather on a camp near Oxford.
From Good Friday to Easter Monday they slept in tents, cooked on open fires and enjoyed loads of activities like air rifle shooting, archery, climbing and zip wires.
They even managed to build snowmen on Easter Sunday. One hundred young people and adult leaders had a fantastic weekend and are now looking forward to their next adventure to Switzerland during the summer

A HISTORIAN is hoping the public can offer more information about the Swindon railway works for his latest book.
Family born into a life of slavery
Celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott was faced with an emotional dilemma in a recent episode of the genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? Having traced one line of his ancestry to great-great-great grandmother, Catherine Smith, born into slavery in 1831, he then discovered a shocking piece of evidence. A different branch of his family tree led to great-great-grandfather James Gordon Harriott, white man and slave owner.
Exhibits give us a glimpse of glories
In my previous article I mentioned that a pageant took place in 1925 to celebrate 100 years of the railway. The GWR had to mock up the North Star to show off its history. However, after the pageant there was much talk about saving some locos for future generations to enjoy.
