The Forres Scout Post is back, and still a bargain at 40p per card

The Christmas Scout Post is back in Forres for 2023. Post your local Christmas cards while supporting youngsters in the town. And save money on postage!

Postboxes have been put into various town centre locations around the town, and charges will be very reasonable 40p per card.

The following locations will be available from now till 18 December:

  • Co-op, High Street
  • Forres House Community Centre, High Street
  • K’s Coffee Shop, Knockomie
  • Lidl, Greshop Industrial Estate
  • Mackenzie and Cruickshank, Greshop Industrial Estate
  • Morrison’s Daily, Fleurs Road
  • Tesco, Nairn Road
  • Wright’s Home Hardware, High Street

The service will be run by 1st Forres Scout Group which is charging 40p per card, which should be placed in a bag or envelope with the cards before posting in one of the boxes. Names and addresses should be clearly written to avoid non-deliveries.

Please note they only deliver to Forres within the town boundaries. Not Dyke, Rafford, Mundole, Brodie, Kinloss, Findhorn, Dallas, Altyre, or any of the surrounding farms.

Most of the deliveries are done on foot with the young people encouraged to do the footwork and connect with the community.

The post boxes will be removed on Monday 18 December and the Scouts will deliver the mail after that.
