Our attention has now focused on our next big adventure, to WINGS 2020. We started fundraising in 2008 to help our girls attend the international camp, WINGS 2009. In 18 months time we will be attending WINGS 2020, our third WINGS camp. We have kept £1,000 of our fundraising monies in the account to go towards this camp and our fundraising throughout 2019 and 2020 will help us ensure any girl in our District that wants to attend the camp is able to. No doubt there will be a special fundraising badge along the way too!
​
Update 26/7/19: We have 6 Leaders and 26 Guides/Rangers signed up to attend this fantastic camp. That's a bill of £7,750 plus the coach travel there and back (about £900) to raise. Let's get cracking.

Update 5/1/20: We have now set aside the £1,000 in 2018 plus a further £1,100 in 2019 towards this adventure. In addition, we have been doing local fundraising and applying for grants and have a further £1,800 as well. We're still working hard into 2020 though to raise as much of our camp fees as possible.

£1,500 has been given to the District account to purchase equipment or plan activities for the whole area. The District have bought every young member in the District the new badge book which has helped enthuse our girls to get involved in doing badges at home.

£30 has been used to subsidise a coach to take 33 Guides, Seniors and Leaders to the Big Gig at Wembley.

£200 has been used to subsidise a coach for 18 Guides and 3 Leaders to attend the Girlguiding Wellies & Wristbands weekend at Foxlease in August.

£830 went towards taking Guides to Wellies & Wristbands at Foxlease over the bank holiday weekend in August. We were able to fund their coach travel plus subsidise their ticket price a little too.

Having enjoyed Wellies & Wristbands so much last year we decided we needed the right kit to go again this year (and in the future we hope!) so we purchased these new tents which were much better for the festival style camping.
