Easter
Garden
A group of Chelford Brownies gave up some of their Easter holiday to make a special 'Easter Garden' display to be shown on Easter Sunday at Chelford Church to demonstrate the Resurrection of Jesus. They made a papier mache 'cave' and a 'green hill far away' to show the Crucifixion.
At the last 'proper' Brownie meeting before the holidays, all the Brownies had got in the Easter mood by making Easter baskets to carry chocolate eggs.

CHELFORD BROWNIES AMONG 3,500 AT GIRL GUIDING
CENTENARY LAUNCH
A
group of Chelford Brownies were among 3500
Rainbows, Brownies and Guides attending a
spectacular party in Congleton Park on Sunday
September 6th to launch the Centenary of Guiding in
the UK. It was one of many held that weekend
involving hundreds of thousands of Girlguiding UK
members around Great Britain to start a year of
celebrations commemorating 100 years of Guiding.
On this weekend exactly 100 years ago, a small group of courageous girls stepped forward at the 1909 Boy Scouts Rally in Crystal Palace Park and asked its Founder, Robert Baden-Powell, for ‘something for the girls’. Guiding has come a long way since then – the movement has travelled all over the globe with over 10 million members worldwide and over 500,000 in the UK.
Undaunted by seriously wet weather, the Chelford Group took part in a wide range of activities, from making woggles in the Heritage Zone to juggling plates in the Creativity sector and tackling the giant inflatable obstacle course in the Outdoor Activities section.
Chelford Brownies will be undertaking a range of badges and other activities associated with the Centenary celebrations, which conclude next October with a special event at Macclesfield Football Ground where everyone will renew their Guiding Promise.

Chelford Brownies
were out planting spring bulbs at Chelford Church.
The girls hope that their narcissi and snowdrops
will create a bright splash of colour on the
roadside verge near the War Memorial.
Their bulb planting was one of their community initiatives forming work on a particular badge this term.

CHELFORD BROWNIES NEWS
An
Afro wig and a Victorian wedding dress were among
the items of clothing Chelford Brownies brought to
their meeting recently when challenged to 'Dress
for a Decade'. The theme was part of working
towards a special GirlGuiding Centary badge - and
the girls also had to turn their creative talents
to designing a Brownie uniform for the
future.

BROWNIES GO TO WONDERLAND
‘Alice in Wonderland’ was the theme of this year’s Chelford Brownie Pack Holiday weekend away. Fifteen girls and three leaders took over Ashley Activity Centre, with a programme of crafts, games and other activities based on the chosen theme.
Saturday’s programme included a morning walk to a nearby, Sugarbrook Farm, which hosts educational visits. The girls played with lambs, groomed a pony, collected eggs and went on a nature trail, which allowed them to try pond dipping.
In the afternoon there was a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, where the girls wore hats they had made earlier, and were persuaded to drink tea out of china cups! Refreshments also included their own jam tarts, made earlier with the ‘Queen of Hearts’, Rainbow Owl, Sue Roycroft.
On Sunday the girls all took part in a ‘church’ service on site, followed by making pizzas for lunch, more crafts, outside hunts and games.
