OFFICIAL OPENING
OF THE SHIP
The Restoration to rebuild the Foundations and Boat Ramp, as well as the Entrance Ramp and the inclusion of a Disabled Toilet and Shower. In conjunction with the ARC, the NSCC and the Devonport Community Board, we have carried out this work. I would like to thank all those involved with this Project as the finished "Ship" is now looking very smart, and good for another 100 years. The Official Opening was held on the on the 4th August, which coincides with the 100th Birthday celebrations of Scouting. The "Ship" was officially opened by the deputy Mayor of NSC Dianne Hale, in the presence of a range of officials and members of the Group, Scouts and Cubs. The attendance by Keith Stewart was the highlight of the day. Keith was Sea Scout at Calliope over the period 1928 - 1932. Now a sprightly 90 he was presented with an Honouary Calliope Scarf and Woggle (Unplaited, but which is good Scouting style had that sorted pretty fast) by the Group Leader Chris Leech.
