We continued with the ever popular baking, including chocolate cake in a mug (you must try this, it is is delicious!) and lemonade scones to name just a few. The leaders particularly enjoyed not having to clear up afterwardsl All of the girls completed the Girl Guiding Ulster Shine badge which involved making lighthouses. learning some sign language and completing random acts of kindness. At the end of June we had an Jumping Clay join us in a virtual meeting and we all made our own mini me guide or leader and had a badge giving in the car park so was great to see everyone face to face. In September we had hoped to begin the guiding year in the hall, but with the schools being back and Covid cases so high we decided it would be better and safer to stay on Zoom. We continued with many varied activities including making googley eye headbands, origami bookmarks, poppy pinwheels and follow my instructions tasks (easier said than done). We have completed the Sock Challenge Badge and Parliament Week Badge. We were delighted to tske part in the Ballynahinch RBL Remembrance Day parade this year for the first time since 2019. We were able to have our Christmas party in the hall where we made Christmas tree hot chocolate baubles, and craft and generally got to know each other again. Everyone enjoyed being able to have a face to face chat. Since February half term we have been back in the hall full time with around 9 members. We would hope these numbers would increase now we are back in the hall and trust that September will see some new faces joining us. Our girls are to be praised for their commitment each week turning up and taking part in all off the online and now face to face artivities.
