GLOW - Girls Light Our Way Now fully booked!
Announcing GLOW – Girls Lighting Our Way is the theme for our all sections Activity Day on Sunday 24 November 2024, at The Burgess Hall, ST.Ives. Following plenty of wonderful suggestions from the Leader’s Poll back in February, the day will be filled with 4 STEM activities and 4 CREATIVE activities.
Think lantern making, glow in the dark mindfulness pebble decorating, a drawing master class, slime, Lego construction, brain teasers and possibly a bit of dancing – all topped off with an indoor campfire to end a fab day. Leaders are required to help their young members with these activities and this is a perfect excuse to have fun throughout the day with your unit. Please ensure minimum ratios apply when booking and for those leaders who run multiple units we will endeavour to allocate your units to the same larger team where possible so hopefully no-one need miss out.
Do however keep the date in your diary, the shop will open on Monday 26 August and there is a limited 250 places available on a first come basis. Bookings close promptly on 11 October. A waiting list will be in place if all the spaces book up and will be reviewed after the closing date.
The cost is £12 per young member and includes an event badge (because you can’t have an event without one). Girls and Leaders will need to bring a packed lunch and water bottle (and/or a covered hot cup for leaders). Please note there will be no food available to purchase at the venue but there will be hot drinks and water available.
Volunteers
As you appreciate I’m sure, these events don’t run themselves. To enable the Event Team to bring their units we are looking for volunteers who are able to come and help. We need people to demo the activities, put out and replace resources and marshall the teams around the venue. If you are interested and could come along, even for a short while, we would be extremely grateful. Please email Liz – [email protected]
Unfortunately, if we do not get enough volunteers we won’t be able to do the full programme or the activities will have to be self-led which is a lot less fun. Please remember volunteers do not need to be members of Girlguiding so don’t forget to ask parents friends or family if they can help. We can’t wait to hear from you. If you have any questions regarding the event or volunteering please also contact Liz – [email protected]
