Further Description
  • Although Royal Mail had a monopoly on the delivery of mail for most of the year, from 1981 charities - principally Scouts, Guides and Church Groups - have been permitted to arrange the collection and distribution of greetings cards each year for a limited period before Christmas. SCOUT Post 2009 for the Hinckley area offers great value for money, the price is just 20p and represents a considerable saving on the cost of posting Christmas cards to your friends and family.This year the 1st Britannia (Burbage) and Earl Shilton Scout Groups organise the sale, collection, sorting and delivery in Hinckley, Burbage, Earl Shilton, Barwell, Stoney Stanton, Sapcote, Elmsthorpe, Stoke Golding, Sketchley, and Kirkby Mallory.:This year the event will involve the exchanging of mail , servicing all the post boxes and stamp sale points in the Hinckley area, 21 delivery rounds of mail  ands finally Dismantling and storing the ‘office’ till next yearThe challenge gets bigger every year with the public recognising the value of the scheme and buying more stamps plus an increasing amount of homes being built in the  area. The Scouts  are  extremely grateful to the following shops across the Hinckley area who are selling stamps and will have our Scout post boxes:Our special scout postal boxes will be at:Burbage: Wynnes garages (Windsor St & Sapcote road)Burbage Co-opHarvester restaurantHappy Stores (Sketchley Road)Tilton Road stores (Tilton Road)Sequoia (Windsor St)Atkins way HairDonna's Hair design (Strutt road)Coventry Road Stores and at:Hinckley & Rugby building society, Castle St,Hinckley and Rugby building society Bond St, St Mary's Church coffee shop, HinckleyEarl shilton building societyEarl Shilton Scout HQEarl Shilton Baptist ChapelAge Concern, Earl ShiltonEarl Shilton Building SocietyEarl Shilton CoopFor more details – or to order some 20p stamps visit http://1stbritanniascoutgroup.moonfruit.com/christmas-card-scout-post/4531714785  or call our scout line  0844 3579445
