Brownie Funtenary 2010
In January brownies groups from Hove took part in a residential centenary event especially for brownies and their Leaders - Funtenary!
The weekend was a marvellous treat that the brownies will remember for the rest of their lives. The top activity was the swimming pool with all its slides, flumes and rapids, but they also enjoyed the disco on the first evening, fairground rides and team sports in the sunshine on Sunday morning.
Several girls met Liz Burnley the Chief Guide and one received a birthday gift from Cindy Centipede, the holiday mascot.
They arrived very excited and left wishing they could stay another day, or even better come back in a couple of week's time!
To quote some of the girls:
Matilda said: "It was really, really fun."
Eleanor said: "The swimming pool was really cool."
Daisy said "The Hannah Montana show was wicked."
Amy said: "I really, really liked the discos, I thought they were groovy."
Nuala said: "It was cool."
Nina said: "It was great fun and we got to do a lot of things."
Hove Centenary Launch Parties
Across Hove, Brownies, Guides and Rainbows have been launching the Girlguiding centenary in style with four parties! West Hove District travelled by open-top double decker buses to a BBQ and campfire at Devil's Dyke. East Hove met at Park Wood campsite where brownies and guides completed a tunnelling activity and emerged plastered in mud. Blatchington Mill School was taken over by North Hove District and Portslade guides, brownies, rainbows and leaders had a street party at St Nicholas Church Hall. Hundreds of girls and adults had a fantastic day and we're now all really looking forward to 2010 and a year of more exciting celebrations.
Calling all Hove Brownie, Guide and Rainbow leaders, if you've got pictures of the celebrations you attended please email them to Claire or your division commissioner and we'll upload them here...
