Hi all
I am sending you the 8th Hillside 'LIST' in its present unfinished, 'work in progress' format, for your perusal and hopefully it will nudge you into remembering something to add or correct! Quite a few of the dates are pure guesses and we also have some missing Troop Leaders to establish. Not all names are in strict date order so search around. Please feel free to send me any suggestions, names, queries and also e-mail addresses of fellow ex Scouts who you think may be of help. More feedback is anticipated soon from reliable sources.
The objectives of the list are to gather information on the basic history of the Group and to mention all past Scouts (and present day Scouts, who themselves will be past members one day!) whatever their contribution or achievements, on one easy to access document.
Compiling the list would have been difficult without our website /troops/8thcontacts/index.html and even Facebook has its uses! Information on the earlier days of the group (pre 1962) were only made possible by the extensive work undertaken by Frank Butler with his excellent memory and also the amazing recollections of Reg Brink. Enthusiastic help from Peter Baum (late '60s/early '70s), Evan Pedlar (mid/late '90s/early '00s), Wade Begemann (early '70s), Anthony Murphy (late '60s) and Dafydd Jones (late '80s and 90s) who all came up with lots of names, is much appreciated. Help was also received from David Mason and Bryan Simon (both late '50s), John Carlisle (late '60s/early '70s), Alan Savin (early '80s) and Colin Smith (late '70s).
It is hoped that more ex 8th guys will be found over the next few years to add to the 300 already on the list. A rough estimate of Scouts who could have attended over the past 60 years, is close to 500 (allowing for an annual average turnover of 8). This total may never be achieved on the current list but it does illustrate that there are quite a few missing past members out there who need to be included. It is also the intention to include Cub Scouts and their Leaders in due course.
Kind regards to you all.
