3rd Molesey Scout group grotto a great hit

The 3rd Molesey Scout group Santa's Grotto ran on Saturday and Sunday and this year the theme was the Wizard of Oz, hundreds visited the grotto and then followed the yellow brick road through to the emerald city.

Volunteers had spent months building all the props to create the enthralling displays, visitors also enjoyed refreshments, a tombola and raffle with the 1st prize been a flat screen TV donated by Molesey Refrigeration, overall over £500 was raised from these activities. This money will go to activities for children in the scout group to celebrate the groups 75th anniversary which takes place next year.

All in all we raised £21 for 3rd Molesey Scout group.Despite the freezing weather and icy roads loads of Molesey residents turned out to help Mr Mole turn on the Christmas lights in East Molesey. The snow did not put people off this the 4th annual event was the best yet.

Molesey residents association, the WI, shooting stars as well as other local charities , businesses and organisations were involved and put on activities for families to enjoy. After the grand switch on carols were sung around the tree and there were plenty of mince pies and refreshment to keep people warm.
