Time For a Break??

Well, did I say May was mad? June and July have proved to be even busier, looking back it all seems a bit of a blur, or maybe a kaleidescope would be a better term. A mixture of events that have made up Guiding in Cheshire Forest during the summer term, each a separate shape and colour merging together to make a bright, colourful whole. Yellow for Brownie Day in bright sunshine at Pettypool, green for volunteers' tee-shirts at Race For Life in Chester, blue for leaders being presented with Long Service awards at the Celebration evening, silver for presenting a Queen's Guide award and six Baden-Powell Challenge awards, white for the array of marquees at the Cheshire Show, red for American Independance day Rainbow style and brown for the mud at Try Camping and Carol Thorley Trophy weekend. These events interspersed with purple for 'serious' meetings like Guiding development, executives and finance, exciting pink for planning centenary adventures and SPARKLE and servicable navy for day to day e-mails, letters and phone calls. An ever changing picture and never too sure what is going to appear next! So now it's time for a break, to take stock and prepare for the biggest kaleidescope of them all - the Centenary of Guiding.
