TOM
NORTON
Left 08/01/02. Now
where do we start! "Naughty Norton" as James DeCaux
named him, joined Scouts on 2nd July 1996. He took over
running the Otter Patrol at the start on 2001. And between
joining and leaving Tom gave the whole Troop a real laugh ... shutting Mr
Mann's foot in the minibus door... going to dubious parties and meaning
dubious people ... yes there was always a story about
Tom! Tom was an Otter throughout his time in the Troop
and attended every Summer Camp during the five years.
Tom is currently at University (04/12/07) |

OLIVER
DAVIES
Left 02/01/01. Oli
... or Olly ... or Olster ... or Action Man ... or Donger ... well
whatever we called him, Ol joined 1st Adderbury in September
1995. He gained a Chief Scouts
Award,
was Senior Patrol Leader and led his Swift Patrol to victory in the battle
to gain the Warren Trophy for the year 2000. He's also famed
for a multitude of different hair styles, use of blond hair dye and
creating naked bodies from sand on a beach! Olly was a top muso
and also stripped off (sort of!) in a Full Monty Spoof!
Olly is also famed for smashing a minibus window with his
backside! He is now a Leader with the Troop and has just bought
a house in the village. (04/12/07) |

been an Otter, then Merlin then Tiger, where he became PL and the Troop's third ever
Senior Patrol Leader. James passed his Chief Scouts' Award.
Memories of James: flooded baguettes, football wins and being
VERY ill on a narrowboat!
After A Levels James worked in Banbury before university
and then did a stint as a radio sales person. After that

where he lives. James is still a Leader with 1st Adderebury. (04/12/07) |

MATTHEW
BARTLETT
Left 05/01/99.
Matt was an Otter at the start and an Otter PL at the end. He
left us with a Chief Scouts' Award pass. Memories

With his hand dangling from a broken wrist he asked "will I be able to go
biking tomorrow"! Matt went to

THAT geeky grin! Andy is currently having a year out ahead of hitting Uni -
God help them! (08/0700) |
LIAM MERRICK
Left 07/01/97. Another
Adderbury Chief Scout. Liam is remembered for funny squeeky noises (from his

middle of the night at Summer Camp 1995. Why? Ask
Sean! Current info please! (10/07/00) |
ANDY WASLEY
Left 07/01/97. Never a PL
with Adderbury, simply because there were no vacancies, but Andy passed his Chief Scouts
with 1st Adderbury and was an Otter from start to end. Memories of Andy: the
other Gemma(!) and the day we all stood ready to set off for Summer Camp - Andy wasn't
there coz he had overslept! Current info please! (10/07/00) |

DANIEL COOPER
Left 07/01/97. Who can
forget the day Dan broke his toe in the Crazy Camp Sports at Summer Camp then limped
through to the end of the week saying it didn't hurt! He was also the first
Adderbury Scout ever to die his hair and get an ear ring. Cool Dan!
Another Chief Scout, Dan was the Swift PL. Dan was most recently
seen working in Sainsbury's and putting on weight whilst in further education.

SCOTT TALLETT
Left 07/01/97. How to
make yourself the most popular PL the Scott Tallett way - tell everyone else at Summer
Camp they are supposed to bury their rubbish - then you get all the points for not doing
it! Well done Scotty boy! Scott was Otter's PL and achieved a
Chief Scouts Award. He was one half of our
Laurel and Hardy performance during 1996. (10/07/00) |

CHRIS WILLSHER
Left 07/01/97. Chris
finished his time at Scouts as Kestrel's PL
having attained these heights from the lowly position of Wally Of The Week
at Summer Camp 1992! He was always a
regular at Troop outdoor activities and still mountain bikes today.
Chris had a staring performance as part of "East Adderbury" in 1996 - and
the video still lives on. Chris passed his Chief Scouts' Award,
and after Scouts grew his hair long and went to University in
Manchester. Today Chris is a recruitment
consultant in London, and is getting married in May 2009. (20/01/08) |
