MEMBERS of Hythe Boys' Brigade have been cooking up a storm thanks to a generous donation from a local firm.

The 1st Hythe company bought two new cookers after Esso and ExxonMobil Chemical at Fawley gave them £700.

The brigade's youngsters got their first taste of cooking on the new purchases at their 26th annual camp.

Ron Shrewry, captain of the brigade, said: "We have an excellent crew of cooks who will enjoy the new cookers."
