Are we sending less cards these days? Well...yes and no. Here are the stats for Scout Christmas Post just from the Backwell end. The chart shows how many items come through our hands in Backwell; how many are destined for Backwell addresses (green) and how many are sent to Nailsea addresses (red). We've processed more this year than in 2023 but marginally less than last year. 2021 was bound to be a good year as we didn't run the service in 2020 due to COVID, but we don't have any data from before that to compare with. We made over £400 in stamp sales which is a win for us and our plans to upgrade the Scout Hut kitchen - we also saved Backwell villagers over £400 against the price of a 2nd class stamp or a whopping £1068 against using 1st class for local deliveries.

Yesterday the Scout Christmas Post team were concerned about how they would manage to deliver the last of the cards, but in true Backwell style the Scouting community has rallied around, pulled together and by lunchtime today every item was collected and on its way to bringing Christmas joy to the recipients. Thank you to all the youngsters and their parents for supporting this valuable village service.
