The Bad Placeundefined | Arrest as £200k stolen from scouts trip fund
A 46‑year‑old man was arrested on suspicion of theft after roughly £200,000 raised for a Herefordshire and Worcestershire scouts trip to Canada went missing from a charity bank account. The money, intended to fund a two‑week excursion for 100 children and 27 volunteer leaders, was raised through extensive parent‑led fundraising efforts that began last year, with each child’s place costing about £2,750.
Scout leaders have now cancelled the trip, which was slated for July or August and would have visited destinations such as Toronto and Niagara. Parents have been told the missing funds will be refunded, but the process could take several weeks. One parent, whose 13‑year‑old son was due to attend, said the loss of more than £2,200 was “devastating,” while another expressed frustration after spending 100 hours on fundraising.
A letter to parents indicated the money was believed to have been taken “over an extended period of time” from a dedicated trip account. The Hereford and Worcester Scouts say they have reported the incident to both police and the Charity Commission and have committed to covering any shortfall so that families are not disadvantaged. West Mercia Police confirmed the arrest and that the investigation remains ongoing.

I don't eat meat, but the local family farm does do a very good job.
Meat should cost more.

The Ghost MonkA small boy falls into Fairyland, having pinched one of the Fair Folk's white nightcaps. The cap allowed him to join in many adventures but also got him into a serious scrape in this #Herefordshire folk tale illustrated by John Lawrence in 1981.

HerefordrobI am not on Meta to make "friends" with people who haven't contacted me in years. I am there to manage two groups, which I hope bring each of us into community in the locality of where I live that is Herefordshire. Social media can be a positive support, but to my mind, Meta is an environment in which we are led not encouraged, so I choose to meet face to face wherever possible.
The groups on Meta are Herefordshire Collective and AfH group Herefordshire.
I will try and attend chatty cafes whenever I can, including Monday mornings at Lee's Place.

David John CrookFor people who think Parkrun is a gentle stroll round a flat suburban path, this winter I have done (note not run)
a) Cruella de Hill
b) Dip of Doom
a) Queenswood Country Park is mud, a near vertical hill, mud, slippy bends, more mud. My slowest time ever. We call it fun!
b) Ludlow is just hard. Not a flat metre on the whole course. And mud. All undulating and a mud swamp where the Forestry Commission has been working.
