Full details of/the arrangements for the hobbles and* handcrafts exhibition have now been posted to all Guiders, and they are reminded of the request to notify the prov. sec. by October 29 of what articles they hope to forward. This will not prevent some being added or withdrawn in the final group sent in, hut is very necessary for the making of arrangements. DUNEDIN GUIDEIRS’ CLUB. The monthly meeting of the Dunedin Guiders’ Club was held in Wilson Hall. Present were Mrs D. Lane (North District commissioner, in the chair) and Mrs Colvin (Central), and representatives from the following companies:—Ist Knox. Roslyn, St. Andrew’s. St. Clair, South Dunedin, Caversham, 4th Dunedin, St. Anne’s, Mornington, and Central Mission. It was decided to postpone the annual sports, on account of the measles epidemic, until March of next year. A motion was carried that mufti be worn by Guiders at future dub meetings, except when otherwise notified. It was decided to hold a week-end camp for Guiders at the Guide cottage the last week-end of October in honour of Miss Barron’s anniversary of Guiding. It was decided that a letter expressing the club’s best wishes be sent to Mrs Dawson (formerly Miss Zita Hart), who. prior to her resignation, was commissioner for Dunedin South, and whose marriage took place recently. An invitation was accepted from Mrs R. G. C. M‘Nab for the nest Guiders’ Club meeting to be held at her home in Maori Hill. A motion of sympathy was passed with Miss Marjory Mumford (South District commissioner) on her recent bereavement. After the business meeting, Miss Barron (provincial commissioner) arrived. and, after several instructive games were conducted by the Guiders, supper was served, at which a birthday cake in honour of Miss Barron’s anniversary was cut. During the evening opportunity was taken of wishing “ Bon voyage ” to Miss Phyllis Brown, captain of St. Anne’s Company, who is leaving Dunedin this month on a visit to England. After supper, the evening closed with the singing of ‘ Taps.’ NORTH-EAST VALLEY PACK.

The North-east Valley pack has been fortunate this year in having had two fine days for combined meetings with other packs of the district, the first with the Knox pack at Chingford and the second with the Opoho ipadk at Cooper’s Bush. Each of these places lent itself to an entirelv different type of programme, the lawns of Chingford being excellent for running- games, while the dense bush at Cooper’s made us feel so little that we turned into bush sprites, built tiny wee houses, and fished in the creek for our tea. Both outings were great fun. The Brownies now feel that they have friends in both these packs, so that at revels that shy feeling should be entirely lacking.
