On Saturday 25th March 2023 Braid Young Leaders, Meadow Explorers and Tweedglen Explorers joined with Explorers from Morpeth and Newcastle to take part in a live action Edinburgh Monopoly. The Challenge was a life-sized version of the popular game taking place in Edinburgh. We had to visit all the places on our Monopoly board, taking pictures around Edinburgh and answering questions to gain Monopoly money to win the game. The day began at Waverley Station at 1030 for a briefing by the organisers. We had 5 hours to buy, sell property and visit as many places as possible on the board!

Leaders had the opportunity to hand out  ‘Chance’ or ‘Community Chest’ cards. These ranged from adding money or taking money away. There were different challenges that they had to do to gain extra money from ‘best hair colour’, ‘best Piper’, Tardis, and ‘Photo of all off the ground’.

And we’re pleased to announce that we had a winning team! The team members were from Meadows and Braid Young Leaders – Feliks, Dylan, Mairi, Emily and River. Congrats and kudos to all.

And a HUGE thanks go  to the Leaders – Allison Gamble, Cheryl Turpie, Kirstin Worsley and Iain Turpie – for making this happen!
