Record Sponsorship for the Swimathon 

Trinity entered two teams of Brownie Guides (the Yellow Dolphins and the Yellow Sharks).  There were also two teams of grown-ups (Trinity Berries and Trinity Forresters).

Our swimmers collected a mighty total of £1064.35 from their sponsors.  The money will be divided equally between The Children's Adventure Farm Trust, East Cheshire Hospice, Buglawton Community Group (Sport for All), and Rotary Charities.

Boys Brigade

When the Company set out to defend its 5-a-side North West BB football crown recently they were outmuscled by teams who were on average two years older and a foot taller! The Seniors, who were the previous year's Company champions, put up a decent display and just missed out on reaching the final of their competition.

The last act of the session/year is the weekend camp in Warslow where a full timetable of activities should ensure a busy time.

The Boys‘ Brigade restarted their 2009/2010 session in September with an enrolment evening and followed this up in October with a second round in the Hall. 

Anyone who knows boys between 7 and 16 who might want a challenge and, more importantly, something to do on a Friday evening, should direct them to us.  Anyone interested who cannot make the enrolment evening is welcome to come along on any Friday evening when they will be made welcome.

We returned to Guides after the summer break to be overwhelmed by the arrival of 11 new Guides, when we were only expecting 5.  This gave us a total of 27 Guides in the company.

We have four people to lead and help but we do need more help, e.g. helping the Guides through their tasks for the evening or shopping for resources.  Can you lend a hand?  You don't need to come along to every meeting.  Please contact Liz Edmunds: contact details can be obtained from our Circuit Superintendent Minister, Philip Berry.

Here is a flavour of what we do, taken from our Autumn programme.
