Celebrations in order at annual Beaveree

Fun and friendship were the name of the game at an annual beaver scouts get-together on Saturday.

About 130 youngsters from across the Maidenhead district gathered at Altwood School for the Beaveree.

This year's event was themed around celebrations with the Olympics and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee both coming up, and a flurry of activities took place at the Altwood Road site.

They included mask and card making, biscuit decorating and some sports-related games.

Braywick Road-based charity SportsAble was chosen to benefit from funds raised, and chairman Vivienne Davies attended to speak at the event.

About £700 had already been collected by Saturday with more cash expected to follow.
