YOUTH GROUPS OF ASCENSION MEETS THE GOVERNER AND MRS GURR

HAPPENINGS OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS IN

1^ST ASCENSION GIRLGUIDING UNITS

VISIT OF GOVERNOR AND MRS GURR

Tuesday, 3^rd March Two Boats Club was “Raining Children and Adults”!!  It was a day that had been decided upon when Mrs. Gurr met with 1^st Ascension

Girlguiding units in January.  Our plans were as St.Helena does not have white sandy beaches having a BBQ at English Bay with all the Colour Parties in attendance would be a great idea.

It so happens it never rains on Ascension but every time something is planned it does just that and in a big way. Although the venue was changed at such short notice everyone turned up in full spirit.  Mrs. Linda Yon (Asst. Commissioner) welcomed Guests and troops and then a lovely spread of nuggets, sausages, burgers, and side salads was enjoyed by all. Cake and biscuits, also was served as a “dessert”.  To conclude our Get-together photographs were taken with the full Colour Parties and Guests.

I would like to thank:-

H.H. The Administrator, Claudia and Amanda, H.E. The Governor and Mrs. Gurr our guests for joining us;

Delphia for the Use of Two Boats Club;

Phyllis Corker for Cooking the BBQ;

Leaders and Asst. Commissioner, Parents and Friends for your help before, during and after;

And also to the children for coming along and having a good time, although the Scouts did look just a little bit tired from their camp.
