HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEEV SPRECKLEY! |
DRAGNET 2000 report now in Dragnet - the ultimate in survival and stealth operations, has once again been completed by 1st Marple Ventures.

They raced through 70km of rough terrain in under 36 hours. The object of the hike was to reach the destination at a given time without getting caught. Every team has three lives, and ours finished with two. Read the full story on |
1st Marple (Kinder) do it in the water Equipped with only a ball of string and a load of barrels at the start of the day, 9 budding mariners set off in search of victory in the Marple Carnival Raft Race this Sunday. Competition was fierce, ranging from two canoes lashed together (entered by the sailing club) to the Jolly Roger (entered by the Round Table) with a mast too tall to pass under the start / finish line (Doh!). 3rd Hazel Grove Scouts entered into the true spirit and built a raft on the day, only to find it floated 6" below the waterline (more planning required next time fellers!!!).More on a page devoted to the Raft Race.

The Ugly Bug Ball? |
BONFIRE AND FIREWORK MAGIC The Brabyns Bonfire and Fireworks were at their biggest and best this year, and had record attendances. It was a, at times, pitiful night where firework co-ordination was rated at as low as 3/10 by some viewers, and the Bonfire collapsed. Luckily no-one was injured as the debris marred what was set to be a great night. The builing work, mostly completed by leaders and parents, was, in the words of Pie-Face, unstable. He is also alleged to have said "If we can't manage a successful bonfire then what's the use of trying to do a Gang-show? I think this years was poor". About the night of fury, to which over three thousand paople attended, many still said that the event was a success, but at what cost? Marple Bonfire will be better next year after a merge of Mellor bonfire builders with the current squad. |
GANG SHOW CAN'T GO ON John Spreckley sensationally said that "Gang-Show cannot go on" in a bizarre change that looks certain to cause outrage on the streets of Manchester. He cancelled the Famous Marple Gang-Show, telling people they would have to buy the video instead. It is believed a refund will be offered, but will cost the Scouts several hundreds of pounds to fund. The other Gang-Show producers could only stand by as John said "It's no good. We can't go on like this" following an electrical failure at the theatre, who wish to remain nameless.. Whilst John was angry, others were trying to control a disheartened and distressed cast, who did not know what to do. "It left us bewildered. They just said the shows off, and that's it. I can't bear the pain and the agony that they have put me through, and my lawyers will be looking into the matter" said one member of the cast. |

SPRECKLEY BABY NAME REVEALED We can sensationally and exclusively reveal the name that Steev and Debbie have chosen for their Baby. Although popular and vicious rumours have been circulating on the Venture guestbook, we can reveal that the baby will not be called John. Our roving reporter managed to find out the baby's name after continued surveillance on the Spreckley household. The reporter saw with his own eyes a hand-written list of baby-names, with all but one of the names scribbled out. The baby will be called STEBBIE, a convenient mix of Steev and Debbie. The names Andy, John, Leslie and Martin were all on the list but had to make way for the actual name. This may come as a shock , as it did for a Mr |
PIE QUITS COBDEN EXCLUSIVE We can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that Pie-face, alias Mr John Dawson, a Cobden Scout leader, has decided to quit Cobden. The decision comes after a training weekend for his new job with ABN AMRO (A Dutch Bank) where he persueded bank staff to include an Amsterdam Penthouse suite in his new contract. The departure of Mr Dawson comes after the recent loss of Lee Smith - another leader - to an Australian wood company, and is bound to cause serious unrest in the Scouting community. Marple Scouts Manager, Sir Mike Spreckley, looks set to transfer one of the Spreckleys accross the Marple divide to steady the Cobden ship. However, in the long |

term he is attempting to lure Del Pioro, a young Italian Scout leader, lacking experience, to England, in a move likely to be worth none-million pounds. Beard's name was also banded around in the early hours of this morning. Mr Dawson was unavailable to comment, and was busy planning a summer camp, and walking weekened, but we understand he is happy with the deal. The manager commented "We have not always seen eye-to-eye, but we did not fall out, and if I could make him stay then I would". A member of the "Venture" youth team squad made a statement saying that "He'll be sadly missed, he was a great guy. But obviously we have to move on, and so did he. We wish him every success for the future, and I'm sure he'll do fine out there". Pie has also sorted out a transfer to Amsterdam scouts "DSV Amsterdam". The move is set to be completed this Summer. |
LINNET ROUGH Linnet Clough, a Scout campsite in Mellor, was last night devastated by a fire believed to have been started by arsonists. The fire, which ripped through Linnet Clough in the late hours of Tuesday 16th May took four hours to be put out by local firefighters. This, the third in our REAL NEWS story campaign bought tears to the eyes of the current Cobden leader, Pie, with only months remaining until he leaves to join Dutch Scout group "DSV Amsterdam". The news also bought a feeling of sadness to Marple Scout hut, as news filtered through on Wednesday of the attack. A scout asked "Why did they do it?". It is now up to the fire and police services to answer that question. |
WALKER-ING OUT ON GANG SHOW! A shock REAL NEWS announcement that Alan Walker, Gang Show man extraordinaire is to quit the show. The announcement comes just months after he helped to create Marple's most memorable show. Our source, his son Matthew, actually told us that Alan Walker intends to step out of the limelight for want of a quieter life backstage. Alan Walker has yet to make a statement. His retirement means that his contract of five solo's a show is voided, meaning his show quota is up for grabs. The favourite to claim them is NikNak, a youth star with a voice like a bird (Yes, a crow-k !!!!!). Steev Spreckleys contract is not set to expire until 2005 whilst Andy Spreck recently signed a "solo a year" contract |
Alan and Steev will never dance together again. |
BROWN WIG The second of our REAL NEWS stories involves cub-leader and Spreckley-to-be Katy Brown. The story was broken last weekend at cub-camp that Miss Brown, a school-teacher, wears a WIG. The story is consildated by the fact that she never slept overnight at camp - a wig specialist last night said you should never sleep in a wig, and it is believed that this is why Miss B, 45, went home every night. Our secret photographer slipped into her garden and took this shot as she sunbathed during last weeks heatwave. Although it is clear that she wants us to know she is Bald, she is yet to comment on the photograph, whilst Andy Spreck has been lying low to avoid questionning on the matter. The story continues. |

ANDY SPRECKLEY - "IT WAS ONLY A BIT OF FUN" Yes, this web-site can exclusivly reveal that Andy Spreckley, the Kinder leader has been taking secret Camp-fire singing lessons. The move, which will no doubt anger Steev Spreckley, the current professional camp-firer of Marple, and may result in a power struggle between the two. It is commonly believed that Steev's songs are too old-fashioned, and in the mean time Andy has been learning more modern songs, to try to catch the new youngsters that have recently moved up from cubs. Andy had been taking lessons alongside Duncan Hutchison, but had managed to keep it a secret from his brother, by claiming that he was "going fishing." It is unsure how their father will react to the squabbling siblings, but it would need to be severe to instill discipline once more. |
Steve and Andy had always loved singing and dancing together.. |
NEW VSU LEADERS ARE SISTERS IN CRIME It has been sensationally revealed that the Brown sisters - Angie and Katy, are to be made the new VENTURE LEADERS following their recommendation at the scouts AGM last night. The sisters, who currently look after Brian Palmer and John Perkins on wednesday night cubs have been plotting the battle for power for several months. Their quest began when Keith and Dave, the VSU's current leaders, reportedly stole their seats in the Ring O Bells three years ago. Their conquest finally came to fruition last night when they beat up Keith and Dave, and told them to "clear off their patch". The Ventures were very upset at the proposal, as rumour has it that Katy Brown is an old enemy, with many friends in Ranger movements - not least Debbie Spreck. The sisters are going to continue to run Wednesday night cubs until the year 2003, but will start at Ventures on Friday night. Their first evening on the programme will be spent "Making the venture den pretty, and getting the ventures to wear pretty frocks. They're like the daughters we might have!" |
The Brown sisters both have big ideas for the Venture den. |
SECURITY CLEAN-UP It has been revealed that following a serious security breech the HQ locks have been changed. The work was carried out under a strict press blackout this weekend. Apparently an unknown intruder has been sneaking into the Scout Hut regularly over previous weeks and CLEANING UP. Recent incidents have seen inner stores rearranged to such an extent it wasn't possible to find anything, and on one occasion the dirty dixie in the kitchen disappeared and was never seen again. The final straw came last Friday when it took 45 minutes to locate the Venture Den after a particularly thorough cleaning session. The new locks were fitted as a last resort after an offer to purchase the (now derelict) Marple Police Station was rejected and John Perkins Scout Hut Cloaking Device was found to be unreliable. Marple Scouts Security Officer Mrs B. Preston did comment, but we can't remember what she said. |
The key to cleaning up the Scout Hut! |
THUGS STEAL TROPICAL JUICE It was found out yesterday that several bottles of "Tropical flavour Juice Drink" were stolen from the Scout hut at the break of dawn. 12 bottles of the Juice, a favourite with the leaders of Marple scouts, were stolen after somebody obtained a copy of the new keys and decided to raid the kitchen. Other articles stolen were a box of Ladies Guild biscuits and some of Auntie Barbara's teatowels. The finger of suspicion once again points to rival scout group Mellor and their leaders, who have a tendancy to "borrow" equipment. The fact that the juice was stolen caused uproar, with huge parties going off all around marple. The scout huts cleaners also celebrated, because they will no longer have to compete with the foul smell the juice made, nor the problems it caused for several of the scouts in the toilets. |
DRAGNET 2000 report now in Dragnet - the ultimate in survival and stealth operations, has once again been completed by 1st Marple Ventures. We have bought EXCLUSIVE rights to their story for just over 10p, so that you can all read it. The team comprised up of the two togs twins, Danny-boy Hopwood, and David Bintliff. They raced through 70km of rough terrain in under 36 hours. The object of the hike was to reach the destination at a given time without getting caught. Every team has three lives, and ours finished with two. Read the full story on |
THUGS RETURN TROPICAL JUICE It has recently been revealed that the thugs who recently broke in to the Scout hut to steal, amongst other things, Tropical Juice, have returned the batch to their rightful place in the kitchen. Of the 12 bottles, all but one of them was returned in tact. The other bottle has had the seal broken, and there appears to be about "enough concentrate for about a mouthful of juice" missing, according to our scientific expert . It seems that the thugs stole the haul thinking of the joy it would bring their own scouts (Not that it was another Scout Troop of course!), but returned it late last night, after one of their scouts was hospitalized. The return of the juice will bring joy to the likes of John Perkins - who used to force-feed his friends to practice his First Aid skills on. A Marple spokesperson today said "We are delighted to have the juice back, and can't wait to drink it". As far as the editor of this site is concerned, I could wait until hell freezes over. |
KEITH FRAZER TO QUIT VENTURES!! REAL NEWS!!! |
Keith Frazer will sensationally walk away from 1st Marple Ventures within the next WEEK AND A HALF. It has been revealed that, given the current problems he is facing with the Venture Unit, he will quit as of next week. The news has shocked Marple VSU and opens the search for the new leaders. Although apprentice John Bintliff will take his place it is not knon whether ot not big Dave will be on his way. The story of the new leaders was broken here last week, when it was suggested that new leaders would be Katy and Angy Brown. Given the current situation, it may be that a new door opens up to them. (Inset - Pictures of "Fraz" throughout the years) |
Thankyou Keith for your Many years of Service - Love from Marple VSU |
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEEV SPRECKLEY! |
WRECKED! The Scout Hut Main door was damaged on Sunday night after a participant at the Rotoract Quiz night got out of hand. The attacker, a huge great kickboxer of a guy, became upset in the early hours, and began to beat the hell out of the door. The doors' glass was smashed, and the locks broken, meaning that head organiser, Adam Stevens had to spend the next day repairing it. The door is still not up to full strength. The attacker may be prosecuted if he fails to recompensate the time and money needed to repair the door within the next few days. The story continues... |

HASH BROWN! Katy Brown Last week intentionally passed on false information, knowing that the fake news would appear on this Website. Firstly she said that Keith Frazer would QUIT VENTURES in 1 and a half weeks. Mr Frazer commented "I will not be leaving Ventures, however, I did mention to Ms Brown that School finished in a week and a half". Katy Brown has added two and two together and got twelve. Secondly, it was Ms Brown who hashed up the story on Steev's age. He is in fact 30 years old, and not 45 as she suggested, and as was mentioned on this websites "Tribute to Steev". The editors of this website were made to look stupid. We will have our vengeance Ms Brown. |

PIE WILL NOT QUIT COBDEN Today we can finally reveal the truth behind John Dawson's on-off transfer to rival scout group ASV Amsterdam. John Dawson was said to have signed a pre-contractual agreement with the club, but it appears the move will not be taking place , after Pie failed his medical. According to Steev Spreck Pie muttered "Something about warts in odd places", which may reveal the problem. It comes in a week when Pie's other deal - to Fulham scouts in a big bucks move - was cancelled after their GSL was investigated for teking part in a bung scandal. It is now believed that Pie will sign the five year extension contract at Cobden under Mike Spreckleys guidance. Mike spreckley was also interested in blooding some of the Ventures in his first team of leaders, but the youth side will now have to wait their turn |

PETROL DESTROYS PARTY It was thought last night that 1st Marple Ventures would be unable to make their way to Mersey Moot because petrol levels in Marple have drastically fallen. The outcome is that the deposit, paid in early september, will not be returned. The Ventures were waiting. The decision, said one, was on a knife edge as to whether they stay or go. Upon hearing the ventures could not go unless they had unleaded petrol, it is rumoured that the Brown sisters, still upset at not being invited to the moot, went out and bought 330 LITRES of unleaded petrol, using up all the unleaded stocks in Marple. Should this prove to be the case, then Legal proceedings will be taken. |
SPRECKLEY IS "ALL TALK" It emerged today that Andy Spreckley is "All Talk". Following Summer Camp, several Ventures were in debt with him. They were warned in writing on invoices, that should they not pay their debts, their houses would be burnt down, and their families tortured by locking them in a room with several scouts, who must remain anonymous due to their age. The Ventures collectively still owe A Spreckley 60p, and are awaiting their punishment even though they were told the debt was to be paid within 24hours. Andy Spreck - come and have a go - if you think you're hard enough! |

WALKING WEEKEND BID ACCEPTED It has been announced by the important people of 1st marple Scouts that Pie Face Dawson has won the bid to take the scouts on a walking weekend. Pie Face and Steev Spreck had been fighting tootha nd nail for the chance to take the older scouts on a PL/APL Walk, and spent thousands of pounds on their respective bids. Steev Spreck wanted to take the Scouts to Mount Everest, using funding fro packing old-ladies' bags in the Co-op, and wantedto be the hero that led the scous to the top. He was so sure of winning that he had even published a kit-list, reading "Vests x 10, Jumpers x 3", but made the basic error of forgetting to add "Wash-Kit" to his list. The Scout PL/APL Comittee did not take kindly to this, with their spokesman saying "It's not like we wouldn't wash all week!" The bid of Steev was scuppered also when he had to give up his place in the inaugural Scout Torbay Camp, whilst rival John Dawson did. Dawson is taking the scouts all the way to Rydal Hall, an old favourite with the Scout Leaders for many years. His extravagant spending included flying in the Red Arrows for a display whilst the commitee were at Torbay, and he's been considered the favourite since then. The camp date has yet to be fixed, but Pie reckons on going in the near future. On hearing the news Pie screamed with delight. |
Spreckley Baby born Spreckley Baby born Spreckley Baby born Yesterday, midst the aftermath of the Mersey Moot, there was a special moment for the Scouts and Guides of Marple. Two of their leaders were busy having a baby - Debbie and Steev Spreckley, Leaders of Kinder scouts and Rangers respectively had a baby boy. He weighed in at x number of pounds, and is currently being called EDWARD JAMES SPRECKLEY - though it is unsure whether he'll be called Eddy Spreck or Jamie in the popular "Spreckley family song" - a camp-fire favourite. One new verse has already been thought up for the baby, born at 1:46 in the afternoon on 18/09/2000, and there will doubtless be more. The baby, according to our source, "was singing and dancing. He's a born entertainer." One head-honcho of the gangshow reportedly said "The youth system is finally paying off, but we'll have to wait aboput another 12 years for it to come to full fruition. Steev and Debbie are overjoyed, and the baby, though I've never seen it, is probably beautiful! Edward James, Steev and Debbie, WE SALUTE YOU! |
Baby Joy! congratulations |
CHALLENGE HIKE CANCELLED |
Today it was revealed to Marple's Ventures and Rangers that the Challenge Hike would not be taking place this Saturday. The event, which has been running for over 25 years, was struck off due to lack of interest from the competitors. Only 6 teams had entered this year, compared to the glory days where 50 to 60 teams took part. The news brought the curtain down on the event, and it is almost certainly the end of the Challenge Hike, as we know it. Marple Ventures are set to be proclaimed all-time champions, afetr they won the event last year, and are set to mount the trophy in the Display case. The move means that several of the ventures are freed up to help out at the Cubs Swimming Gala. It is believed they are secretly plotting to get a certain Ms Brown into the water - in full clothes or not! Although these are surely only rumours. |
BARBARA BITES BACK |
Following her incredible lack of success at generating news articles from the Scouts and Cubs of Marple, Barbara Preston has launched a blistering attack on the Group. Amongst other things she mentioned that often she had to tidy the Scout Hut, Pick up dropped Cags, and place reminders for the leaders in convenient places. She blamed the Leaders most for the lack of articles, saying "It's a disgrace that there are no articles. I blame Pie and the Spreckleys, and that bunch of Brown girls" It is thought that, should the above mentioned leaders fail to gain entries before this Friday, then their lives would not be worth living. She said she "would unleash my dog upon them, and use her powers that be to charge non-article writing cubs/scouts more in subs. On a more serious note, articles are urgently required by Friday. Contributions should be made directly to Mrs Preston. |
SPRECKLEY BABY BEATEN UP Edward James Spreckley was yesterday beaten up by a mob of 17 to 18 year olds. It is believed that the assault was fuelled by the fact that the Spreckley baby was causing the mob grief. It was revealed he WROTE OFFENSIVE REMARKS in the marple scouts guestbook, though many feel that the incident could have also been caused by the fact that Marple VSU felt they were not loved by Steev and Debs anymore, now that they had a baby. The fights broke out late last night, as the baby was rolling around on his mat and singing the first lines of Three Cheers - practicing for his solo in 2010 no doubt. Apparently the baby was picked up and kidnapped by the mob, who beat him up, and took him to get a kiss off the ugly fairy. Luckily the police found the mob just in time, or that monobrow could have disappeared for EVER. It is expected the baby will make a full recovery by the time Andy Spreck next visits. |
Just a big BABY It's EJ |
SHE'LL SET DOG LOOSE |
BROWN SISTERS TO TAKE ON GILWELL EXCLUSIVE Today it was revealed by GSL Mike Spreckley that our fight-back over the new uniforms will be lead by THE BROWN SISTERS. Following the uproar that changing the uniforms has caused the GSL said "It's a disgrace. We have to do something, and we can rely on these two to do a good job". The Brown sisters have in the past taken on the might of Brian Palmer, John Perkins, and Mikey Dyer, not to mention their bitter war with Keith and Dave. They are expected to resign from their current jobs and live at the Scout hut full-time. New phone lines will be installed, and a new computer will be given to them. It is believed that they are also being given FREE food and water, and whatever they can scrounge from the bins. When we questionned Gilwell, they said "We have a good knowledge of the Brown sisters and their capabilities, and have decided to pass this complaint onto the caretaker." The Brown sisters (pictured) were obviously excited, but refused to comment, except to say that they will "NOT LET YOU DOWN". They are expected to take up office later today. |
BROWN SISTERS SHED DEMAND The Brown sisters today demanded a shed to live in, and have threatened to resign from their posts as leaders of Marple's Uniform revolution. It appears that they stormed into mike Sprecks office and demanded that, if they were to work for 24hours a day, they wanted their own personal space. And they have recommended the GSL to buy them a SHED! The news comes amid speculation that EJ Spreck was to add power to their campaign by dressing up in traditional scout uniform (including the hat and shorts) and being paraded along Downing street. It is also thought that the Mellor scouts would have wanted to be represented by the sisters, and they have pledged their support by saying they will play no part in this ears Gang Show. Marple Guides, and more especially Tanya Bennett have promised to help to make the new uniforms for the Scouts with added flowery bit along the sleeves - to make them ideal for wearing outside scouting! The story continues! |
SIGN UP FOR BONFIRE INSURANCE New fire regulations surrounding Bonfires - and more especially the building of has been release recently. It may mean that all people who help to build the Marple Scouts and Guides Bonfire will have to fill in their name, address, and an emergency contact on their form. The move, purely for safety reasons will undoubtedly lead to better serveillance of the building site, and hopefully, less injuries. Over the past decade there have been several mahor injuries caused by bonfire building, most notably the man who fell asleep on a sofa just hours before the bonfire was due to be lit. Already Marple have to wear strong shoes, and there are external fireworkers, but more red tape could mean extra paperwork for everyone. The laws are due to be sanctionned in the very near future. Watch this space. |
EJ - SPRECKLEY REJECT EJ Spreckley has sensationally turned his back on the Spreckley family Scout Group (Kinder). Today he signed pre-contractual agreements with John Dawson, leaving his hand-print as a pledge to Cobden Scout Group. EJ snubbed his own father after he was told off for scream- ing every hour on the hour throughout the night. Steev was, apparently, gutted at the loss, as this may mean that Mike Spreckley - Great Uncle to the baby - will begin to bankroll Cobden over Kinder. Debbie, meanwhile, was seen helping EJ to sign the pre-contract, which states that EJ will automatically be made a PL on investiture into scouting, and will be paid a sum equivalent to five proficiency badges and one Scout award per year. The bouncing baby meanwhile said "To be considered Cobdens greatest signing is an honour for me. I have always supported them, and obviously it's a dream come true to be walking out into the Scout hall infront of all the fans. We have a great squad at the moment, but I'm still learning. One day, the Scout hut will be a fortress that travelling fans will never want to visit. Dads been great about this - he's not forced me into anything and he's just been really supportive". |

VENTURES TO RUN CARVER! It has been revealed by a top-source of the ventures, that they are being asked to help run Carver cubs. The move comes just days after the Brown sisters vowed that they would be "Staying at Carver for the rest of our lives". The descision for the venture to take over was taken by the venture president Ian Corbishley. He commented "They just aren't doing it right, numbers have been dropping for a while, and Beetle drive is played simply too often." The ventures will take over on a temporary basis following the Half-term holiday, with the Brown sisters taing a bck-seat role. They may both be moved upstairs to the Director of Cub games post, which is currently vacant. The programme for the wednesday night is yet to be organize, but ex-cub "Squat" said " they will probably be dead adventurous and fun" There will be an update on who is to take the permanent job at Carver, but if in the review the Brown sisters are deemed not good enough, Mikey Dyer is supposedly waiting in the wings, and ,as he knows the cubs already, would be in with a good shout for the job. Mike Spreckley, GSL of Marple, refused to comment on the situation. |
