Following on from the success of the last two years, Melksham Scout Group will be again running their own Christmas post service.
Melksham Scout Group say, “Christmas card post boxes are now in place around town, for you to post your Christmas cards for Melksham, Berryfield and Bowerhill. Please also place your donation in the box. The cost is still ONLY 20p per card, less than ½ price of a 2nd class stamp. As last year, the Scouts have had their own stamps made too.
“The last posting date is 11th December; cards will be delivered on the weekend of 13th and 14th December. All the sorting will be done by the beavers, cubs, scouts (and parents, grandparents) on Saturday 13th December in the Scout Hut which is turned into a temporary sorting office for the morning.
“If you are not sure of the address on the front of the envelope, please put a return address on the back.
“Christmas card post boxes are now in the following venues, with many thanks to the local businesses and organisations for hosting a box: Tops Hairdressers; Scissors Hairdressers; Flowers in Focus; Tourist Information Centre; Town Hall; Art House Café; Costa Coffee; Card and News; Cobbler’s Bench; Melksham Scout Hut.
“The Scout Christmas Fayre will be on Saturday 22nd November 11am to 3pm at the Scout Hut (opposite Riverside Club, entrance to Waitrose car park). Lots of things to buy and things to do; plenty of refreshments and of course, you can visit Father Christmas!”
