ROUND 3 - 2009-10
Centenary Pageant - 26-27 June 2010
Congratulations to the Rainbow Laces Patrol, and to everyone who took part in producing a spectacular pageant to commemorate 50 years of Guiding.
In spite of warnings, a large amount of Lost Property remained at the school, and has kindly been taken in charge by Mrs Carol Connah. Please contact her at: carol.connah@sevenay.net if you have anything missing.

Due to the extreme heat, a vast amount of water and soft drinks was consumed, and about half of the Guides slept out under the stars in the courtyard.
Everyone thought it had been an exhausting but very rewarding challenge, with enormous credit due to the producer, Mrs Janice Hyde, and her helpers.
