This made me laugh

Sometimes the questions parents ask make you wonder about their parallel universe. I was recently told the following which took place at a parents evening before a Browie residential. On coming to the end of the usual briefing, the Leader asked for questions. One parent responded with the following "If what happened in Norway happens at your Pack Holiday what will you do?" The leader's response was "Until the Guide Association issues me with a gun, I guess I would just have to call the Police!"
Well, it might happen........but we will have done a risk assessment to minimise the risk, after all.

Welcome back

Welcome back after a Guide-free August. I expect this is your first week back as it is for me.

I got quite a bit done over August including:

• Applying for a grant from NatWest - the next stage is to get as many as people as possible to VOTE for us. More details later


• Organising a Christmas Raffle for Surrey West, Surrey East and Greater London West to support campsites and properties in Surrey. You will hear more about this later this month.


• Getting quotes for PV Panels for Herons Wey


• Reseeding part of my lawn


• Creating a new flower bed


• Doing lots of cooking


• Increasing my cycling distances - now 15 miles.


• etc etc

So quite productive.
