Every continent but Antarctica; and that does not register on the map.

Reading between the lines of the stats I get many of the searches from America are the result of a close match and get no further than ‘Welcome’. Others seem to be a search using an obscure term (to which I plead guilty) such as axemanship. It is harder to read if these visitors were satisfied by what they found.

But some spend time looking at multiple pages – but since they don’t contact the site feedback is missing.

A small pause in the camping season so I can get one or two new pages up; a couple of ‘Individuals and new sources for school troops.

I hope to be working on the physical archive at District HQ soon so bring out your relics.

We are now into camping season and the pages will slow a little as I devote head-space to Family, Archery, District and Summer camp, and the other Summer camp, and things.

I have, however, found several modern County Trophies and most excitingly the Hele Trophy which is a carved stave in an exotic wood. I will add this to the pages although I have, as yet, incomplete information from the winners plaques and only a poor composite photograph.

‘Most excitingly’? – well maybe ‘very pleasing’. It is at least the only example of a ‘stave’ trophy I have come across in the County and any form is better than another cheap shield. The trophy should have worth in its deliberation and construction to reflect the work done by those competing.
