1st Melbourn Guides The fine weather this summer has enabled the group to enjoy many Thursday evenings outdoors, including skipping, ball games, agility badge tests and camping practice. We have also continued to commemorate our Centenary in various ways. On one evening we watched a slide show of Guiding through the ages, then the girls dressed up in uniforms from the past. This preceded the Storytelling event at the Coffee Stop, where we met ex-Guides from Melbourn. Meldreth and beyond. On a sunny Sunday in May, Guides, Brownies & Rainbows from our District gathered for a Fun Day, enjoying games and crafts to represent Guiding milestones from the past 10 decades. In July we joined 2000 others from our county at Newmarket racecourse to celebrate the Centenary. From circus skills to cheerleading, space-hopper horse racing to hair-braiding, archery to animal-petting, there was a massive selection of activities to challenge and amuse all ages. In August we will attend the County Camp at Quy, for another fun-filled, and hopefully sunny, week of excitement and adventure. The ‘Wednesday group’ has now
become ‘2nd Melbourn Guides’ and will meet on Wednesday evenings. Both groups are looking for extra adult help. If you would like to know more about becoming a Guide or a Leader, or if you have any skills or hobbies which you would like to share with us, please contact me on: 01763 261443 or email: melbournguides@gmail.com Hilary Marsh
Melbourn Guides’ Storytelling reunion event On Saturday 15th May, Melbourn Guides commemorated their centenary year by inviting ex-Guides and leaders to a story-gathering project at the Coffee Stop, at which we displayed the old scrapbooks from Meldreth Guides. Among those we met were a 95- yearold who could remember wearing the big hat which was the uniform of the time, and another lady who had never forgotten the long bike ride to her
