Guild WoSoG 11 Report
During the week 30 July — 6 August 2011 approx 20 members from the Wiltshire South Trefoil Guilds descended at various times on ‘Foxlease’ to help the Guiders with the Guide, Brownie and Rainbow Activity week, with a ‘Wild West’ theme. Dressing up appropriately was enjoyed by all!
The marquee, entitled the ‘Silver Dollar Saloon’ and ‘Milky Parlour’ was festooned with flags, beer mats, cacti and swinging doors etc and during the week sandwiches, cakes, hot drinks and milk shakes were served, raising, with donations, approx. £500 for the Berwick ‘Bertie Boiler Fund’.
A few excellent evening meals were enjoyed in the company of the Service Team, whilst some members visited campsites for their sustenance. Members also helped with first aid, the camp Shop, Camping and Craft activities as well as enjoying camp fires, line dancing, swimming, archery and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, when a Barn dance was enjoyed by some and watched by others! Prior to an evening meal at a local hostelry Carol Coulson was enrolled into the Trefoil Guild.
Thanks are extended to everyone who arranged such a happy and enjoyable week.
