BEAVERS, Cubs and Scouts in Ilminster have been taking part in a world record to make the longest loom band for charity.

The band is to help Skye Hall’s ‘Loom to the Moon’ fund-raising campaign, which was set up to raise money and awareness for Brain Tumour Research.

The 1st Ilminster have been helping the charity and worked together to make a loom band which measures just over a whopping 74 metres.

The band will be sent to Blue Skye Thinking and it will be joined to Skye’s master loom band which currently measures more than 10km.

A donation to aid the research will also be sent. For more information, see www.blueskyething.or
