Haverings
Work Programme
Haverings gives pleasure to many people but it also requires a lot of upkeep. We would like to thank our many members and supporters, without whose help we would not be able to keep Haverings looking so good. We have recently replaced all the doors, windows and guttering. We are curently putting our main efforts into restoring the woodland. One of our projects underway is to define a pathway through the woods and to hopefully put signs up to inform visitors of the many varied trees, plants and wildlife that lives in the woods. We recently extended Haverings our Pack Holiday Home and Camping Ground. Click here to see how it progressed! LOCAL
GUIDES A BACK STAGE HIT WITH BLAZIN SQUAD
Wembley Arena holds Girlguiding UK's Big Gig Local Guides from Luton South Division were among the lucky chosen ones to go back stage and meet with pop's biggest celebs. On Saturday 11th October, 11,000 Guides saw their favourite pop stars perform exclusively for Girlguiding UK at Wembley Arena. But it was some of the girls from Luton who got to mingle back stage with the acts. The girls mixed with pop pin-ups Blazin Squad, Lemar, Atomic Kitten, Liberty X, D-Side, Holly Valance, David Sneddon, Lisa Scott-Lee, Sinead Quinn, Mark Owen, Jamelia and not forgetting those Cheeky Girls. Tickets for the Big Gig sold out within a record time of 90 minutes, not even Justin Timberlake could top that one. There are 133,000 Guides across the UK, enough to fill Wembley 12 times! As a local leader said "It was a fantastic event, not just for the girls but for us adults too. Guiding always keeps me young! The atmosphere was unbelievable and seeing the girls faces when they were talking to Lemar and all of Blazin Squad makes being a part of Guiding so worthwhile." Sarah a Young Leader in Luton South Division, said "The concert was amazing. I was so excited when I actually met Blazin Squad. It was the best day ever and one I'll never forget!"
