Wanjam 2007 - A Centenary Message from Chris Harris at Bath Theatre Royal

I send you greetings on this exciting day knowing that your grand howl will  probably be heard onstage at the Theatre Royal and might even stop the traffic on the M4!

My memory of a jamboree on  Lansdown goes back 50 years when Lord Rowallan was "Chief Skip", as we called him. I refer of course to the then commissioner. I seem to recall we were at the bottom of a long field  and as the flag dropped thousands of cubs ran hell for leather up the field towards the Great Skip. It must have been pretty frightening for him as we screamed our heads off as we approached .He looked very forbidding in his kilt and woggle but he held his ground .

We pulled up just in time and for a moment the world stood still.

Then we all started laughing and went off for a biscuit and some fizz.

Brilliant day. Enjoy yours .

Good luck.... Chris Harris.

P.S.  see you at the panto, Aladdin this Christmas at Bath Theatre Royal.
