Magic and music come together to send Scouts to Alaska.

1st Hersham Scouts are laying on an evening of Music and Magic on Saturday 12 January 2008 from 7.30pm at the Scout HQ at Burwood Close in Hersham.

The entertainment features ex-professional musician Chris Vicary, who will conjure up some of the best songs from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s to sing, dance and rock and roll to. There will also be an appearance from Julia Howson, a brilliant singer who has featured in many West End musicals including Cats and Les Miserables. Also providing entertainment will be renowned magician Alan Shaxon, President of the Magic Circle with a dazzling display of magical artistry.

Great food is included in the price of the tickets which are £8 for adults, £5 for children and £20 for a family up to 4.

The evening is taking place to raise funds for the scout’s trip to Alaska in the summer. 40 young people from Hersham will be visiting the wilderness state for an expedition encompassing exploration by canoe, mountaineering and staying with American scout families. 1st Hersham Scouts are the first scout troop from Europe to visit.
