More praise for Wet and Wacky

As the team have quite rightly had lots of congratualtions for a fabulous day, I thought just one posting about it was no more than touching the surface. So here are more comments....

I just had a long call from my friend .... who was absolutely ecstatic about Wet & Wacky. She thought it was BRILLIANT and was VERY.VERY IMPRESSED that we could organise something like this that gave girls such great opportunities to enjoy themselves in a fun and safe environment. She was blown away by it and is going to offer to be a unit helper at least at her daughter's Rainbow unit.
A HUGE big THANK YOU to you all for such a wonderful day yesterday. All our Brownies, and the Guides and Rainbows from our District, had the most fantastic day. From the singing and dancing and flag parading of the Opening Ceremony to all the various activities it was a triumph. Our girls made things, bought things, patted police horses, got wet and very foamy and the smiles never left their faces. We told our parents we would probably leave around 4pm as the girls would be tired by then, but in the event we dragged them out at 5.45pm!
I will leave the final words to our Brownies - when asked what they had enjoyed the most? - they replied "All of it"

Thank you for a most amazing start to the centenary! I did really enjoy it (even the hard work..) and I am in awe of your team and the work you put in to make it happen. I hope Voyage Around The World can be half as good. Well done and thank you... from 3000 of us!
I've already had one Brownie parent talk about having her CRB done so she can help out more because her daughter had such a good time - the same one who wasn't sure whether her daughter was robust enough to join such a big event. I just hope they don't start expecting all events to be in the same league in future!

Of course this is just a sample - but a representative one. That we are getting potential unit helpers and Leaders is simply amazing. What other event that we have put on has had that impact?
