Sheena Jones
The Shed is continuing to attract members with another
couple showing interest during our successful open session
during the recent Christmas Shopping Night. At this event
we sold some of the things we have made and together with
a number of donations we raised £136 on the night. Many
thanks to everyone!
If you missed us, we will also have a stall at the Christmas
Fayre at Lauder Primary School on Saturday, 1 November.
Come along!
We have managed to source a new storage shed and
continue to add to our stock of tools.
To find out more drop in on Tuesday or Thursday afternoons
from 12.30 - 5 pm. Membership costs just £3 per month or
£4 for key access outwith normal hours. Or phone John for
more information on 07703 305257.

1st Lauder Guides have had a very busy term so far;
we had a ball at the Tartan Gig in Glasgow in August,
where the girls saw some of their favourite music icons
perform - a very memorable night for them as always!
In the Guides we have been working very hard on our
skill builders to earn badges. One or our patrols did
a bake sale for the charity “Dreams Come True” and
raised £44.46. Well done girls; you did amazing!
We had great fun at Bowhill, where the guides had
a great day outside, despite the rain. We were den
building and playing in the adventure playground,
where we made lots of new friends, before heading
inside for some creative fun.
Back at Lauder, we have all enjoyed making sock
monkeys, had Waste Aware Lauderdale in and made
posters for them to advertise, before making our
reusable beeswax wraps, which reduce waste and help
the environment.
We recently had our Halloween party where the girls
dressed up and had great fun apple bobbing, before
putting their faces in flour to dig out sweets - this
produced some “ghostly” faces - and put their hands in
goo to get more. We then had some yummy snacks and
pizza. Later, we went outside and celebrated bonfire
night with sparklers and made patterns with them.

By the time you read this, we will have held our
fundraising bag pack at ASDA on 23rd Nov to raise
money for the bus costs for our trip to Blair Drummond
Safari Park, and to round off a busy term we are looking
forward to our Christmas party!
Merry Christmas from all the Leaders, Young Leaders
and Guides at 1st Lauder Guides.
