End of Guiding Centenary Ceremony at the Guiding Flower Bed on The Leas
This event is a photo call to mark the end of a year of celebration for the guiding movement. I have been privileged to have attended many of the events this year and this final ceremony was tinged with sadness at the end of a very long party.

These plans will presented to the Council's Executive on 8th December, with the details to be confirmed nearer the time. These are very exciting developments, however, which could prove to be a fantastic result of genuine, open-minded partnership working between Portfolio Holder for Children's Services Cllr David Sawyer, Council officers and the parents of children who use the respite services offered at Foxgloves.
