title	Demolishing The 1st Eye Scout Hut, Wellington Road, Eye, Suffolk - 11th May 2013
intro	The Eye Scout Hut - a pre-fab built in the Silver Jubilee year of 1977 and with an intended lifespan of ten years - has definitely reached the end of the road, some 25 years after it probably should have been replaced. Despite being in use until recently, it looks in about as good condition as some of the unrestored 1940s huts at Bletchley Park, which is to say it's pretty decrepit. Anyway, after several years of fund raising, there's enough cash in the kitty to build a suitable replacement. So to make an event of it, the "decomissioning" of the hut is marked with a mini Fete, and some token demolition takes place as a queue forms in order to smash up a store room and knock down a bit of breezeblock wall.
