In September, we welcomed Chloe Bourne, Grace Tydeman, Chloe Brown and Amy Martin. During September/October, 3 members of the Civil Aid kindly ran a six week first aid course and I am happy to say that all 25 members of the Pack passed their badge with flying colours.
In October, 5 of our girls and 6 Brownies from Langleybury teamed up to enter into the Division Brownie Competition in Berkhamsted. This was an afternoon of team games, crafts and quizzes ending in a campfire singing session. The two Packs had not met before, but our team, working extremely hard, won the shield for the most points during the day. We were very proud of our girls as Kings Langley District has not won this competition since 1979!! Well done to Rosemary Cronin, Alice Nolan, Elyse Thompson, Danielle Johnson and Emily Flynn.
During November/December, 11 Brownies worked tirelessly to help with the annual Hollyberry Fair. We also went carol singing in the Harlequin Centre and joined the Carols by Candlelight Service at the Baptist Church; thank you and well done to Rosemary Cronin, Danielle Johnson, Faye Chippendale, Sophie Dicker and Amy Martin for these events. To end the term, the Pack entertained parents and friends with a Christmas Concert of Carols and Readings and we said goodbye to Rosemary Cronin who has since joined Kings Langley Guides. In January, we welcomed Charlotte Barton and visited the Pantomime (Cinderella) which was greatly enjoyed by everyone. In February, we said goodbye to Louise Shaw and welcomed Rebecca Nicholson. We had an evening of making marmalade, thanks to Wyn Fairclough for her help. We also had an evening in which the Brownies all brought in photographs of themselves as babies and everyone had to guess who was who!
Although our Pack is full to bursting at the moment, its never too early to put your daughters name on our waiting list. The starting age is 7 years old. Also, if you are 18 years or above, have 1 1/2 hours to spare on Tuesdays, and would like to help at meetings, I would be very pleased to hear from you: we can always do with an extra adult!! Please contact Sian Hopkins on 01923 268852.
