Horizon News
Site Updates 9th May 2008. Six of us off to Foxlease this weekend for a County Training. 2 members of the Leadership Team plus Mim, Emma, Cheryl & Clare (all doing their LQ's and Queen's Guide Award). This leaves Holly running the "Buried Treasure" Wide Game this evening - best of luck Hol!! with Becky and Chris (a member of the LINK Group who'se supporting her). It was karate the week before - a very good evening organised by Jade and her friends. She did really well! The week before that was Programme Planning - check it out to see what you think. Other news The recruitment sleepover didn't work.. Only one application and that from a sibling of the Chair - and we're hoping she'll join anyway..... So we had to cancel. HOWEVER - We had a really nice Court of Awards Evening on the 11th April. Our District Commissioner presented First Aid Certificates, Our Division Commissioner presented the Commonwealth Award to Becci and the SS Indoor Camp Permit to Cheryl. Our County D. of E. Adviser presented both Bronze and Silver Awards and our County Commissioner presented the Queen's Guide Award to Lizzie and the Chief Guide's Award to Emma. CONGRATULATIONS - all of you! Then 17-19th April was the New Forest Silver D. of E. Practice. It was excellent. One of the best groups ever, well organised (despite bringing 2 x base camp inners and no fly), very well motivated, with a good walking pace and no slacking. Very impressive. However we've had to postpone the planned Expedition over the May Bank Holiday as we couldn't find an Assessor. So we're hoping to go in August. Summer Holidays9 of us have sent off deposits for the Essex Jamboree andMim has got through Regional International Selection to Slovakia.Well Done Mim!Membership Three new members just
appeared from nowhere a couple of weeks ago - 2 x Zoe's and Ami who
joined
last January and then decided she wasn't ready for us so went back to Guides for a year. Its great to see all three of you. We hope you like us and want to stay for years and years. LINK Becky, Assistant at Horizon and member of OSAGTO, (our local Unit) is still involved, though Maria is now the Chair, and numbers have grown. Please contact Maria at the address below for information and the 2008 Application form. Local meetings are sometimes held the second Thursday in the month in a hostellry in the Kidlington area, just north of Oxford. A LINK Website is now up and running See www.geocities.com/osagtolinkunit/osagto.html So if you're 18 - 30 years and interested in Scouting/Guiding
in the Oxfordshire area, |
