Neston Trefoil Guild celebrate 100 years of Guiding
| Author: Pat Wood | Published: 10th October 2009 12:10 |
As part of this year's celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Guiding, Neston Trefoil Guild certainly had a ‘Mountain Top Experience' when they renewed their Promise along with distinguished guests from the County on top of the Liver Buildings in Liverpool recently.
‘Yes' it really is high - ‘Yes' the clocks are bigger than Big Ben and ‘Yes' the Liver Birds are enormous.
June Lancelyn Green MBE, Vice Chairman Wirral GG read the forward by Her Majesty the Queen from our commemorative book ‘Something for the Girls' then we all renewed our Promise.
The views from the top were fantastic and looking over towards the Wirral was something special.
If the weather hadn't been so good this experience wouldn't have been possible - so, just in case, we had also arranged another ‘first.' Tea with the Lord Mayor of Liverpool Mike Storey CBE. The opulent splendour of Liverpool Town Hall was breathtaking. This is where everyone, including the Lord mayor, signed our special book, took tea and then had a tour of the building.
A truly Mountain Top Experience.
One of our guests, Ruby Porter, is a trustee of the Streepur Village in Bangladesh. We had been selling cards made by their young people for our Save The World Project so we handed over our monies to Ruby at the Liver Buildings. We were surprised to hear that Brownies and Guides are being run at the orphanage in Streepur.
Our other Save the World Project has been Asylum Link Liverpool. We have collected anything and everything that people coming to this country to escape persecution need.
Both have been very worthwhile causes and have given our Guild a sense of togetherness and purpose.
My husband remarked to me after our Mountain Top Experience - ‘That was one of your better ideas.' Praise indeed!
