AN appeal has gone out for adults to sign up as leaders with a fun group for youngsters.

Clitheroe and District Beavers are desperately seeking leaders, organiser Sue Buckley said.

The group recently held its first annual sports night and family barbecue and youngsters are now queueing up to join in the fun.

Future events being planned include a Hallowe'en disco and Christmas concert.

"We are desperate for leaders. The demand is certainly there. Some training is involved and people must be aged 21 to 65. Apart from that they only need to like children!" said Sue.

Beavers offer six to eight-year-olds a host of activities and training in social skills, such as water safety and first aid.
