Disco

Brownies and Guides are welcome at our District Disco at the Lodge on Friday 20th April from 6.30pm.  Cost - £4 to include a drink and biscuit.  Novelties and snacks for sale on the evening.  Please see your leader for an application form or turn up on the night.

Volunteers Needed

We need to recruit leaders and unit helpers to strengthen our existing teams and possibly open new units to enable more girls to experience the fun of Girlguiding.  This is great for your CV and there are also lots of opportunities for adults too.  We particularly need help at our Friday night Rainbows and with the Guide units.

Awards

Last year two girls from 2nd Guides and 3rd Guides received a Jack Petchey award.  The official presentation evening is on Thursday 25th January when there will be entertainment. 

Christingle

Our Christingle service was held on Sunday 3rd December at Holy Trinity Church in the town centre.  The girls were given collection candles to collec their pennies and over £200 was raised for the Childrens Society.

Sponsored Silence

6th Brownies had a visit from Peter Blackman, from Guide Dogs for the Blind, who brought in retired guide dog, Rodney.  This was part of the Friends to Animals badge that the Brownies are currently doing.  It was a very enjoyable evening and the girls asked lots of questions. 

The Brownies will be taking part in a sponsored silence in aid of Guide Dogs for the Blind on Tuesday 21st March.  They have set up a Just Giving fundraising page for your donations.  Please click here to make a donation.

District Fete

The District Fete will be held at Creekview Lodge on Saturday 17th June from 1-3.30pm.  We will have all the usual stalls such as cakes, tombola, raffle, coconut shy, hoopla, play your cards right and many more.  Please put the date in your diary and come along and support it.

District Campfire

The District Campfire was held on Friday 14th October.  We had a lovely evening with doughnuts and hot chocolate.  The girls enjoyed wearing glowing bracelets, necklaces and bunny ears. We made £279 profit which was excellent.

Remembrance Parade

Once again we participated in the annual Remembrance Parade at William de Ferrers School.  The girls were very well behaved and respectful and we paraded to the memorial after the service.
