Urgent call for Rainbows leader


SNODLAND Rainbows may be forced to close if a leader cannot be found.


Emma Girt, Snodland and Ley- bourne District Commissioner, said one of the two leaders had to give up and parents were helping out on a rota system. The unit has 15 children aged be-


tween five and seven. “The present system can only run
