might have visited one of the local churches but the fact that such a

remembrance and gratitude.
Bridge Guides
On Saturday, 12th October there was a Guide and Brownie District
Swimming Gala at Kingsmead Pool. In the Bridge Guide team there were
Lucy Wilmshurst, Louise Fagg, Joanne Fairweather, Sarah Knight, Iona
Coltart, Louisa Starling, Nicola Fagg and Catherine Pike.
There were lots of difierent races, some proper swimming races and
others like barrel races and tandem races. These were all great fun and
everybody enjoyed themselves immensely. There was also a prize for the
‘Best Supporters’, so we made a big colourful banner to wave. When all the
points were added up it was discovered that Bridge Guides had come first
in the swimming and we were presented with the District Shield.
Everybody went home happy but tired.
