Girlguiding - Tuesday's 7pm-8.30pm
Hi
There is good news for Girlguiding, we have been informed this week that we
can commence indoor guide meetings from 24 th September. However, we have
to have a risk assessment signed off by our District Commissioners first, which
we have to give to her 2 weeks in advance, we can also complete zoom
meetings. We are also limited to 12 total including leaders if meeting indoors.
This is all good news for guiding, however, for me it is a difficulty as I have been
rostered to work most Tuesdays through October and we are changing our
times of starting to 7.30pm, I will not be able to open our guide unit yet, as we
are now short of leaders. Due to the risk assessments, Lynne from Rainbows
will not be able to assist at Guides as well as running Rainbows. To complete
Zoom meetings, I will require Parents to return the permission forms for online
sessions, these were sent out several months ago, but unfortunately, no one
returned them.
Looking at my off duty, it is looking like the first meeting I would be able to hold
would be 20 th October, so I will aim and plan toward this date.
The annual subscriptions to Girlguiding UK will be due in February and we
have been informed that these will be increased again this year, we have
previously partly paid for them from subs received weekly from the Guides,
however, as we have not received any subs for the majority of the year, we will
need to ask parents to completely fund this annual subscription next year. As
yet, we have not been informed of the final subscription charge this year.
Yours in Guiding
Ann Treguer
