I went to Cobham District Activity Day yesterday, wonderfully organised by Leigh Hopper. Each group of about ten girls (mixed ages) was accompanied by a parent leader. There were also parents running activities and cooking dinner. How did she find so many? Simple; on the acceptance form there was a short sentence about the daughter coming to the event - and then a very big bit saying "I can help at the day in the following way......"
When the responses were analysed a lot of parents had volunteered to cook so she asked some to do other things.
I spoke to one Mum taking a group round and she said she used to help at Cubs but it was pandemonium. She couldn't believe that girls were so different; doing what they were told and being quiet! Perhaps she will offer again.
