2021 Annual Report

This year has again been different to most, especially in Guiding terms. We have continued to meet with the Guides from St Paul's Royton over Zoom every two weeks. We have completed a number of skills builders, challenges, crafts and played lots of games.

In April we joined the Division Sleepover on Zoom. Over the weekend we made chocolate nests, s'mores, pizza and armpit fudge. We decorated masks & eggs, played bingo and even managed a virual campfire. It was so nice to see all the girls throughly enjoying themselves!

By the end of September it seemed that a little bit of normality was being restored and we finally started to meet back face to face. Unfortunately we lost a few girls as they didn't want to meet on zoom so our numbers are low again.

We were very lucky to get some apples from the vicarge garden so we made apple flapjack and apple and blackberry traybake mmmmmm!

After half term we had a bonfire night party. The Guides created fake wounds on their arms which looked that realistic one younger brother thought the Guide had really hurt herself whilst carving a pepper! They also made bonfire biscuits and played charades.

We ended the year by going to Oldham Coliseum to watch Aladdin where a brilliant night was had by all!
