Thinking Day Celebrations
Saturday 19th February
We had a great day at Mollivers taking part in Thinking Day on the air.
The crew came and set up huge portable arials
There were different types of radio sets along with many activities, including morse code and the inevitable food activity! (see attached)
Girls were able to talk to other Guides in many parts of the UK and further afield
The communicator badge was gained by many girls taking part
Watch out for the follow up next year!

The trouble with girls is that they just don't sit still!! LOL
Sunday 20th February

Had a good afternoon - about 200 attended - see programme of events - they loved the showing of WOW for Bedford's ten minutes of fame
We will be sending £50 to the Thinking Day fund having collected 5p s from girls and explained about what the money is being used for this year
They also loved spotting themselves in pictures from the review of the year

Mollivers Bunkhouse opening Sun 16 May 2010
Last Sunday saw over 300 Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Rangers and Leaders together with invited guests descend on the Mollivers Activity Centre in Bromham to enjoy a day of activities working towards the Decades challenge badge. Activities included grass skis, space hoppers, making doves and bird feeders, learning first aid and semaphore and dancing rock and roll - each activity representing a decade of Guiding now that we are 100 years old.

The official opening of the bunkhouse extension took place in the afternoon, 19 years to the day after the original Mollivers building was opened. Sophie Ben Taieb, a Ranger and Young Leader in Bedford Division, who played a major part in securing funding for the extension cut the ribbon. Then everyone enjoyed tea and cake before making their way home.

'It was sun sun sun and fun fun fun' enthused one excited Brownie!
