THIRD Bude Rowan Scout Group has received a donation, including a selection of sports equipment, from a local group.

A few years ago BRIPS (Bude Rural Inter Parish Sports) was set up and given funding to encourage local villages to compete against each other in various sports.

BRIPS recently decided to fold, and was left with a large amount of sports equipment and some money in its account.

Organisers of BRIPS decided they would like to spread this out among local youth organisations and parish councillors suggested groups which could benefit.

For the full report, and a round up of the area news and sport, see this week's edition of the Post.
