What we did in 2005 This is just some of the things we did during the year. |

November 05 Enrolment Service Annual event held 1st Sunday in November the joint enrolment service of the BB & GB. A chance for the girls to see what they have learnt during the year and a chance to take part in a service where they are the main participants. This year we did the story of Noah's Ark. Took over the lounge at one part but made the story more effective. Janet told the story and the girls acted it out. We sang, did some prayers. It was a family celebration for all ages. Those that take part really enjoy it. Tanzania Celebration Service This year we have done a pen friend badge for the whole company. We were lucky to have Naomi from Tanzania to come and visit us as she was working over hear for a year. So we organised this special occasion for so she could tell our pen friends in Tarimmie all about us. It was a real special time. We learnt a song in
Swahili specially written for us by Dave Gordon. We did some lively singing and had most of the people there, dancing round the church singing we are Marching in the Light of God. Naomi told us all about her country with some startling facts and figures and stories. We took a collection and along with some other fundraising were able to send £100 out to Tanzania. Not much for us but a lot for them. It was a memorable moving experience. We hope other companies will be able to do the same.

Figure Marching A great favourite. Many of the parents love to watch us do this on a Wednesday evening and think it is very very good. Badge Work (just a few samples) Sewing: chosen by the senior section themselves. With the help of Mrs Judith Bates they have learned some new techniques and produced some brilliant work Display Work: Again chosen by the Seniors themselves. Mrs Beryl Harris helped with this one. You may have seen our GB display board in the hall over Christmas or the windows in the church decorated on an Autumn theme for our enrollment service. Very impressive. Appreciation of Music: taught by Cathy to the juniors was a joy to listen to. Drama: with Mrs Lymath for the Explores looks good we will be presenting this later in the year. Small Apparatus Skills: Completed by the Explorer section. These skills maybe you and I would have learnt in the play ground as a matter of course, but can be quite difficult for some of today's children. |
Christmas Party 05 with the Boys Another year goes by. Joint party this year with a professional DJ. Don't you wish you could bend and move like these girls? (where were the boys). Sure I used to do this sort of thing - seems a long time ago.
We love this, we get to e with other girls in the district. There is Team games, craft, spiritual dance, some times drama or what ever the leaders decide. We are VERY VERY good at the spiritual dance. We came 1st this year and have performed it in Church on 2 occasions. We wear special sparkly tops.
Richard and Sarah, Captains of Kippax Brigades. Sara and her girls were with us for a short time this year they got married here in our Church. Fund Raising All ideas gratefully received this id our coffee morning with a bring and buy stall. Please if you have any ideas of how we can raise funds! Then don't hesitate I'd love to hear from you.
Explorer badge work. Mrs Lymath taught the explorers how to fasten a variety of fasteners. Mrs Cameron came and we showed her how well we could do. We all passed our badge.
Figure
marching an old item not done in many other groups for children.
Our lot well they love it (probably because it is something different)
Pity we don't have competitions in this any more. Looks easy but
can be very complicated particularly getting the leaders who are
the teenagers to take smaller steps so the little ones can keep
up. |
