Terry Gardens

Terry Gardens: Without “Skip” Terry it could be said that Scouting would not have reached the footing within the area. Back in the mid 20’s he formed the 1st Kesgrave Scout Group in an annex behind Kesgrave House, now demolished, to make way for The Walk. Skip also found time to take an active part in the St John Ambulance Brigade. He was a brilliant cornet player with Woodbridge Excelsior Band, a keen gardener both professionally and within his own garden and allotment. In his spare time he earned a living by being a caretaker both at the Church Hall and the Area School, now Kesgrave High School.
