The 2nd Onchan Thursday Beavers enjoyed a trip to Government House to meet Lieutenant Governor Sir Richard Gozney.

Beaver leader Jackie Russell said: ’His Excellency and his staff were so welcoming and kind, and after a short chat with him there was a quiz and a look around the downstairs rooms.

’This was followed by juice and biscuits (and tea for the Leaders), and after a few photographs the Beavers were let loose in the garden!

’It was a truly memorable evening.’

Assistant Beaver leaders Rob Clynes and Charlotte Galka were joined by the island assistant commissioner for Beavers, Bev Hewson.
