GASMLINGAY
GUIDES

Gazette Logo

Following my article in the September issue of the Gazette, regarding the arson attack on Gamlingay Guides camp equipment store, I am pleased to report that we have very nearly reached our fund-raising target.

We have been quite overwhelmed by the generosity of so many people, many of whom have had little contact with Guiding, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped us.

Our bag-packing venture at Sainsbury's brought in the magnificent sum of over £600, whilst our stand at the Village Show raised almost £150. Again, I would like to thank everyone who came and supported us there. Clyde the orang-utan was won by Laura Payne, and his birthday was 15th September, the day of the Village Show.

I am also delighted to report that Peter Anderson Cars of St Neots have kindly donated a replacement equipment store, twice the size of our old one! The Parish Council have agreed its new siting and have also given us a generous donation, for which we are extremely grateful. Once again - thank you!!

Christmas Fun Day

Last year's Christmas Fun Day was such a success that we just had to do it again! This time the fun will last from 9.30am till 12noon on Saturday 22nd December at the Church Hall in Gamlingay, next to St Mary's Church. All children up to age 11 are very welcome to come along and join in the fun - Christmas craft making, storytelling, games and activities (for pre-school children, mum or dad will have to stay to supervise).

The morning will end at 12, when parents are invited to come and see what their children have been up to, and share in some of the fun before going home. To find out more, please ring Cally Hammond or Graham Virgo on 652181, or Jan Cooper on 650178

and finally... You are driving at the speed of light and turn on your headlights, what happens?
