WORCESTER EVENING GUILD ENTERTAIN CHERNOBYL CHILDREN
The youngsters, six girls and four boys, plus one teacher, arrived at Worcestershire’s Camp Site at Blackmore on a lovely sunny morning. They took part in a trail laid in the woods by Worcestershire’s Guiding International Adviser. They were taught archery and became very proficient as the day wore on, becoming delighted each time one of them burst a balloon that had been attached to the target! Trefoil members prepared a wonderful lunch for their guests. The children very quickly made themselves understood, albeit they only spoke Russian. During the afternoon great fun was had with hoops, balls and giant Jenka games. Following tea and cake, the children were taught some crafts. The day rounded off with a BBQ, everyone having had a most enjoyable time. Brenda

REGION VISIT TO NETHERURD
On
Monday 4th November thirty-seven members of Midlands Trefoil Guilds set
out by plane, train or car for Netherurd, Scotland. The trip was organised
by Jo Dowling, Programme Adviser. We arrived to sunshine glinting on autumn
leaves, which set the scene for a wonderful four day break. Monday evening
saw plenty of chat as we all got to know each other. Tuesday saw six members
from Peebles Trefoil Guild arrive to show us various crafts and the evening
was rounded off with a singsong. On Wednesday we visited the Royal Yacht
Britannia at Leith and saw how the ‘other half’ lived!! The
afternoon was free time, so members shopped, drank coffee, or generally
enjoyed themselves. In the evening, Mr J Nicholl entertained us with tunes
on his bagpipes, which was followed by the parading of the haggis with
our Region Chairman, Anne Strudwicke ably assisting the Piper. Mr Nicholl
addressed the haggis in a fine Scottish brogue. We later ate the haggis
as part of our evening meal; those who had never tried it before were
suitably impressed. Our evening finished with much hilarity as each County
performed a song or sketch. A very pleasant few days away where we made
new friends and renewed old acquaintances. |
