Para 1.20
2023 was the year when we gol back to a
sort-of new normal after the restrictions of
the Covid-19 pandemic. Our ability to hold
meetings on zoom and shar8 information
electronically was something we picked up
over the covid years and has continued lo
be of benefit. However, the fun and
laughter of being with each other again is
something that happens more naturally
when we meet together, and especially
when there is food involved.
A lot of time was spent during the year in
sorting through the old AGM reports and
newsletters in the archive material which

the late Maureen Davies BEM had looked
after. After many days spent sorting
through it all and putting it in some sort of
order, it is now in some new cupboards in
Ty Bodafon in Anglesey Guide Centre
Lligwy. Some of the records will be offered
to Anglesey County Archive Department in
Llangefni as they are looking for records
about the start of Girlguiding on Anglesey.
In the first months of the year, we were
pleased to work with other local
organisations to plant trees for the future.
A few of us joined Anglesey Scouts at their
campground in Talwm where they are
working hard to develop their camping
fields.
A guide from 1 $1 Anglesey and local
leaders joined with Anglesey Federation of
Womens Institutes to plant some native fruit
trees around the new allotments in
Llanfairpwll. These trees will benefit our
communities for many years to come.
Spring is a time when plans are made for
the coming year. Hours were spent by our
amazing volunteers in listening lo the girfs,
ideas on what they would like to do. They
developed the plans, wrote risk
assessments and still carried on holding
their weekly meetings. Here is a taste of
what went on during the year..
In March, Brownies from Dwyrain Ynys
Mon Division enjoyed a free science
session at Menai Heritage Centre which
was organised through a leader's contacts
at work.
1 st Beaumaris Brownies celebrated their
1 Ooth birthday in April. They shared their
celebrations by developing a challenge
pack to gain a special Commemorative
badge. They had a display of old unit
records, old uniforms, books and badges -
and, of course, thére was a special cake.
April saw the start of residential events for
many of our groups. Rainbows from Valley
and Holyhead enjoyed a sleepover at Felin
Bach, Girlguiding Caernarfonshire's cottage
in the woods.
There was a weekend at Anglesey Guide
Centre for guides from Holyhead and
Llangefni in April which involved local walks
and lata nights. Llangoed and 1 st Anglesey
(Menai Bridge) guides went to Felin Bach
so this meant that all our
uidin
units had

the opportunity for a residential experience
with Girlguiding last Spring.
The weekend of the King's coronation in
May coincided with the Big Help Out
weekend which aims to increase
volunteering in the community. A Big Help
Out event was planned for Penrhos Nature
Reserve with games on the football field for
younger memb8rs and a wide game across
the reserve for guides and rangers. As with
all outdoor plans, what happens on the day
depends on the weather- so the day event
became an afternoon event.
We were grateful for support from Holyhead
Ladies Rugby Club members with the
games on the field. The nature reserve
warden was glad to have the guides help in
clearing invasive species from the site
which was part of the wide game (which is
a game carried out over a wide area and
generally involves some map-reading). We
may not have had any more volunteers as
a result of this event, but il was a
memorable day out and good publicity for
Girlguiding,
A county camp was held at Girlguiding's
residential Centre, Ynysgain, nr Criccieth
during the Spring Half Term. This will go
down in the records as 'Camp Hot, due to
the sunny weather and it was quite
challenge lo get the girls to stay cool and
hydrated. There was a day visit by train to
Harlech to cool off in their swimming pool
and eat ice Cream. The girls walked to
Criccieth Castle- and ate ice cream there
too.
Mid-summer saw the annual Summer
Solstice campfire again at Anglesey Guide
Centre, which was really well attended on a
glorious evening. A new badge had been
designed and prodU￿d during the summer
to be shared with members at the event.
The evening Started with a visit from the
Police and Crime Commissioner to see the
new roller garage door on the county store
which had been funded by a £2,500 grant
from his Your Community Your Choice
scheme which distributes cash made from
selling proceeds of Crime to various good
causes. The new door and the shelving
units inside have made our outdoor activity
and camp equipment much easier to
access, and the look of the site ha8 been
greatly improved.

Beaumaris Brownies enjoyed a sleepover
at Anglesey Guide Cenlre, and Benllech
Brownies had a pack holiday there with 1 st
Anglesey Brownies. Benllech Brownies
have deposited their pack holiday record
books in the county archives at AGC, and
they show many year5 of happy events
there. We hope for many more in the years
to come.
Gwyrch Castle was used a few years ago
for the TV series 'l'm a Celebrity.. Gel me
out of here,. Last summer you could have
renamed it 'l'm a Guide.. gel me out of here,
when Girfguiding Cymru arranged a special
event there. A 70-seater coachload of
rainbows, brownies and guides went for the
day, and guides from Llangoed and 1st
Anglesey camped there for the weekend.
There were some exotic creatures on
display, and a lot of fun and games too.
The summer term included days out for
various units..
Rainbows from Gorllewin Ynys Mon
Division had a day out at Gypsy Wood, nr
Caemarfon
Llangefni Guides planned their trip to
Greenwood using a grant they applied for
from Medrwn Mon who have supported so
many guiding activities and events over the
years
There were visits to RNLI, Police and Fire
stations during weekly meetings. A chance
lo leam to play the ukeléle, and fundraising
for the AirAmbulance.
The end ofthe summer term saw a
volunteers social event at Anglesey Guide
Centre. On Friday evening we enjoyed an
Indian takeaway meal and a quiz which
included a round on Girlguiding history.
There was a walk on Saturday, and a swim
for some, followed by a delicious afternoon
tea. It went so well that another date was
put in the diary for De￿Mber, which again
involved an Indian meal and was followed
next day by a leisurely brunch which turned
into a planning meeting for 2024.
The summer also saw the start of a huge
adventure for one of our Rangers who had
been selected to be part of the Girfguiding
Cymru group going to the World Scout
Jamborèe in South Koréa. We heard of the
camp in the media at the time,
unfortunatel for all thé wron
reasons but

she had a g￿at lime and made lifelong
friends and memories.
At the end of the holidays, guides and
rangers from Holyhead and elsewhere went
to Girlguiding's festival, 'Wellies and
Wristbands, at Waddow Hall, Lancashire.
Two of the 1st Anglesey Brownie leaders
joined the event on the staff team. The girls
and leaders had an amazing, if exhausting,
lime there.
September saw th8 r8-opening of a new
Guide unit in Valley. The unit is going really
well thanks to their energetic leaders, and
the girts are already joining in with local and
county events.
We were out and about at various Autumn
events to publicise Girlguiding and share
our skills in making s'mores with the
general public. We used some of our
traditional green canvas tents al Anglesey
AutoFest on the Showground, which led lo
quite a few comments, mainly on the lin6S
of. I didn't know that guides still exist,.
At Gwyl Mabsanl, the school fair at Ysgol
Llanddaniel, we made s'mores and put oul
the outdoor games we got with a Summer
of Fun grant a few years ago. It was great
lo be part of such a happy community event
and listen to live music from local bands,
Rangers and young leaders went to
Ropeworks in Llanberis for an adventurous
afternoon.
November saw a good tum out of units at
Remembran￿ Sunday parades across the
county.
There was a very successful Ramble in the
Dark to fundraise for Children in Need and
local Guiding. There were routes for each
age range around the town, and delicious
cupcakes for everyone in Holyhead Guide
Hall after the walks.
November also saw the first full day face-
to-face training for the county when the
training team offered a range of topics at
Anglesey Guide Centre. We are grateful to
the leaders who give so much of their skills,
time and energy to go through the training
scheme and provide Girlguiding's trainings
to our members.

The run up to Christmas was celebrated
across the county in unit meetings and in
special events.
Rainbows had a 'party day, with a bouncy
castle at Holyhead Leisure Centre, and all
sections went carol singing in a local
supemarket.
Llangoed and 1st Anglesey Guides had a
'turkey ancs tinsel, sleepover at Felin Bach.
There were trips to the Panto in Benllech
and the Ucheldre Centre in Holyhead.
During the year, the county commissioner
was invited to many unit meetings where
girls were presenteé with bronze, silver,
and sometimes their gold theme awards.
These represent 8 lot of effort by leaders to
follow the guiding programme in their
meetings, and of parents in supporting the
girls at home.
There is an ongoing programme of re-
branding of Girlguiding which started with a
change to the logo and publicity materials.
We have adapted and moved fotward with
these changes which have been introduced
to keep Girlguiding relevant to the girls and
women of today.
l am sure we all realise that these changes
are actually quite superficial, as our core
values haven't changed from the foundation
of the movement in 1910. The words may
change, but the aims are still the same..
'Through fun, friendship,
challenge and adventure
we empower girls to find their
voice,
inspiring them to discover thè
best in themselves
and to make a positive
difference in their community.,
