Senior Section Day
Senior Section members and Guides 13 years upwards were invited to attend
a Senior Section Day on Sunday 14th June 2009.
The theme of the day was to highlight the “Look Wider” octants and to show how activities can cross over into other areas of the Senior Section and what opportunities are available for developing skills.
The young ladies took part in the following workshops:-
Fit for life – Foot Spa and Nail painting |
Creativity – Card making |
 |
 |
International – Line dancing |
Independent Living – Car maintenance |
 |
 |
Community – Who’s who game |
Leadership – Group Games |
 |
 |
23 girls and 12 adult leaders attended and
a “Fab day” was had by all.
An evaluation of the day was completed and the following interest was expressed:-
- 10 girls in the Duke of Edinburgh Award
- 7 girls in becoming Young Leaders
- 3 girls in becoming In4mers
- 4 girls in the Queens Guide Award
- and all 13 Guides are interested in joining the Senior Section
Quotes from the day:-
“I enjoyed meeting new people”
“Just to say "thank you" for day - it was really nice to meet everyone
and to learn more about Senior Section -
(it was also a revelation to learn how to change a tyre!)"
“I enjoyed learning things I wouldn’t normally have the opportunity”
And lots of the replies said they would like to do the same again!
A big 'THANK YOU' to Fran, Elaine, John, Angela, Kathryn and Becky for helping with the running of the workshops, you were brill! Also to June and Angela for preparing the refreshments! |
