Old friends

In Horsell Scout and Guide HQ there is a notice baord with all the names of those getting Queens Guide between 1971 and 1983 or so. The first 4 names are Shirley Lovelace, Kathryn Green, Denise Cheeseman and Georgina Cheeseman and today the four of us were altogether to celebrate Horsell Guides 40th birthday. To be truthful the first 2 were from 3rd Horsell Guides - which is the unit whose birthday it was - and the second two from 1st Horsell Guides - now closed. Also there was one of the first leaders, Jill Wadley, as well as another of the original Guides - Lorraine Harvey. What is amazing is that we hadn't changed that much. There were still fond memories of Guiding and a lot of news to exchange. We had a great time!
