2008

Final Registration  1285

Working Contingents have their

sleeping tents set up on Goat Hill.

Kybos and wash stations are in place

Rental marquees have been set up on Whiskin and in Ebor Park.

Ridley is awaiting it's tenants

... those still lugging canvas are busy setting up

..and

another

Reunion

is

underway.

Time to greet old friends, meet new ones, or just sit a spell and soak up the atmosphere

All is in readiness and the crowds gather ....

The Gilwell Pipe Band arrives

...and with one quick turn around the circle...

..they pipe the Reunion Commiittee on to the field

to take their places in front of the "Keke" for the Camp Opening and speeches.

Camp Chief

The Parade of Years and

election speeches see our

Committee in more casual

dress, but still very

recognizable by their

"distictive" headwear.

The Longest Standing Gilwellians in attendance in 2008

The Med Vents are always on scene

The Committee shakes hands with our  "oldest" Gilwellians.

It will soon be time for

"Tea On The Lawn"

In the meantime you can shop till you drop

in the Tuck shop set up in the Keke

.. or take in the sights, and sounds of the activites going on on the fields.

The Pipe Band makes regular rounds of the fields, especially early in the morning

The Bass Drum

contains a Log and Axe

..coming into Ebor Park from Whiskin Field

..where they met

stiff competition

from this "band"?

... no real Battle of the Bands.. the Gilwell Pipe Band is triumphant!
