Cox’s propertv Bond’s Road, the patrols cooking their tea on open fires. A very enjoyable afternoon was spent. Mrs Bowler came through on the and enrolled 11 Guides. Miss Mandeno presented Joy Bevn with her All-round Cord. We do most heartily congratulate Joy on gaining this cord. Proficiency and second-class badges and service stars were also presented. The girjs presented Mrs Bowler with a crystal jug and sugar bowl in appreciation of her services to the company. Three Brownies “flew-up” to Guides that night. An endeavour will be made to arrange for a camp-fire reunion before the midsummer recess. It was decided that the Guides should resume in the second week in February. Plans were tentatively made for holding a Birthday Party early in 1940. Several other routine matters were attended to.
