Christmas Craft Sale

3rd A Clarkston Guides are having a small Christmas Craft Sale.  Tickets are £1 and customers can have a cuppa and a biscuit for that (you can pay at the door).  We have hand made cards, gift tags, bags of snowman poop, mugs of snowman soup, pet snowballs and a few wee other things.  The most exciting thing we will have on sale will be our CD.  Yep I did say our CD.  The guides have recorded a selection of Christmas stories and songs (4 of each) and we will be selling copies on the night.  We also have two quizzes for sale with some nice prizes for those who can solve the clues - I do have to warn you though, they are pretty hard!!

We look forward to welcoming those who come and feel sure they will be compelled to buy a few wee stocking fillers.  Our Christmas Craft Sale will take place on Tuesday 9th December from 7:30 - 9pm with tea/coffee/hot chocolate being served from 7:45 - 8:45pm

2^nd Clarkston Brownies (Tuesday) 

By the time you read this, the brownies will have been to a pantomime at Eastwood Theatre and I am sure we will have had a great time as usual.  In November, we made shortbread and other things to sell at a Pudsey Pyjama Party and Bring and Buy Sale.  We raised £150 for Children in Need – a great total.  We are now looking forward to Christmas and will finish the session with some Christmas crafts followed by a ‘ Reindeer Drive ’ – more seasonal than ‘beetles’!! - to which friends and family are invited.

It’s been a very busy term and we will all enjoy the Christmas break.  I hope all the Brownies and leaders have a peaceful and joyful Christmas – and everyone else too!!!

FRIENDS

In October we managed a great games evening with some wonderful puddings brought in by everyone.  In November we are meeting on the 9th and 30th November 2008 in the church halls for a mixed programme of fun, games and chat.  We are also meeting at the Church Ceilidh on Saturday 22nd November for any Friends who would like to join us.  If you want more information, please call Val **

1^st Clarkston Guides

We returned from St Andrews last Sunday and hopefully by the time you read this we will all have recovered.

We had a great ‘pirate’ weekend which included building pirate ships in the sand, writing pirate plays and songs, making hats, eye patches, swords and costumes from newspapers (we took 96 newspapers with us!) and even walking the plank.  We made our own pirate ship desserts on Saturday night and took part in the Church Service on the Sunday morning.  Then as the sun was shining brightly - yes it was November – we went searching round the town for our own pirate treasure.  A great weekend was had by all and we even managed to sleep at night.

We are now looking forward to the Harlequin pantomime on Wednesday before our Christmas craft/party night next week.

If any girl age between 10 and 14 would like to join our Guide unit, please contact Marilyn **
