Thursday evening and the last meeting of the group for this year. I was asked to stage the story of how brownies began and the girls came up trumps on the night!! All bar one had families attending and one set of grandparents arrived half an hour in advance! The £1.50 entrance fee included a strip of raffle tickets, a hot drink and a mince pie. At the end of the play, Brown Owl inducted two more brownies and they were overwhelmed as they had not been told in advance!!
Also in attendance was Peter, Community Officer for the ‘GPO’ wearing the MBE that he was awarded for his work with communities. He has arranged and funded a number of outings for the group.
I was given a thank you plant and card and in turn I took along a small craft gift set for each of the brownies. In true marketing style, I attached one of our Soroptimist cards to each gift. Who knows, parents may read the news on this website and contact us.
