THE CLOSING ceremony of the 1999 Noah’s Ark Rally was held by Loughborough Students’ Scout & Guide Club at Oaks-in-Charnwood.
The rallies take place three times a year at different district Scout sites around the country.
More than 130 members from all around England attended, some coming from as far north as Newcastle and as far south as Bristol.
The weekend comprised outdoor pursuits, team building exercises and an introduction to what Loughborough has to offer, ranging from climbing to a visit to the bell foundry.
They also held a gala meal to celebrate this, the last rally before the millennium, which was followed by a fancy dress barn dance at the university. The theme for the rally was Noah’s Ark, and most of the activities highlighted this.
The overall aim of the event was to bring together national societies for a weekend of fun.
Loughborough Scouts and Guides would like to thank all the local and national companies who offered their support to the event, 3M of Loughborough, Transmitton of Ashby de la Zouch, Garendon Insurance Consultants of Loughborough, KP of Ashby de la Zouch, Charterhouse Holdings plc in Shepshed, Wallis Hulse & Company in Shepshed, Outside (outdoor shops) of Sheffield, Mutches Coaches and Residential Services at Loughborough University
