(A180903/1) i Waddington hosts Girl Guides’ fun day


OVER 900 Girl Guides from all over the North-West enjoyed a fun-filled event a t Waddow Hall, Waddington. Aimed at the senior section of


the Guiding movement, those aged between 14 and 25, the a c tivit ie s day included ra f t sledging, circus skills and a


bouncy castle. There were grasps of amazement by a large audience when watching the magician showing off his glitter­ ing tricks. Despite the wet and damp


weather, the highlight of the event was a spectacular fire­ works display and an evening


disco. Youth programme co­ ordinator Beverley Whiteside said: “The weekend was enjoyed by all the Guides and staff. “I t was really nice to see over


§00 girls enjoying themselves and it was a pleasure to see their eyes light up when watching the fireworks display.


“I t is the Brownies' 90th


birthday next year and we are hoping to run a similar event.” The occasion concluded with


400 Guides camping overnight. Pictured are Guides being


treated to a magical show during the fun day at Waddow Hall. ' (A190903/2)'
