The World Wide Gangshow Forum

"Oh dear" didn't the authors that were Jack Blunt warn Skip that the nightmare he experienced on the last night at Camp about what was going to be put into the 'Troop Show' was a Scout Masters warning that the 'fires of hell' might be a small comfort away from the 'hell' of letting each Patrol select and practice it's own Troop Show Item.Why had he seven Patrols each with a Patrol Leader that thought Skips idea of Points for the best ideas was worth staging 'The Battle of the Little Bighorn' in the Patrol Corners of their Scout Hut.Jarvis had already let slip that the Bulls were going to get some wigs from a friend of 'his Mum' and the Curlews were getting something from 'Johnsons Dad' who was a Fireman.Skip knew what Johnson needed from his Dad when he got Home and it wasn't a set of 'escape ladders' !! Secret Patrol logs,Troop Logs and in some cases Gang Show Logs paint a frightening Picture of how the early days of Gang Show,as it was practiced at Troop level could leave the likes of Reader and his Fellow Gang Show Spies at a lost to understand why anybody but "Their Mummies" should want to see a 'Troop Show' the only consolation was that they were not using Readers.More 'Adventure in Gang Show' soon.Dr.Stu..
