6th New Southgate Brownies
The 6th New Southgate Brownie Pack meet weekly at Grove Road Christian Centre, Grove Road, New Southgate, N11.
We welcome all girls from the ages of 7 - 10 yrs and from all faiths. The charge per evening is just £1 which is paid even when the girls are away for any reason. We raise money for our Annual Capitation Fee to Guide Headquarters by having a Christmas Bazaar, in this way we do not have to ask parents for this fee. We also support two young people in Uganda and have done so for many years.
Our Brownies have great fun making new friends, playing games and many craft activities. They go on a Brownie Holiday weekend every year, and visit other places. We are part of the Palmer's Green District Guides/Brownies and we meet the other groups by having Sports Day's and Swimming Gala's etc.

MEGA (MIDDLESEX EAST GET AWAY) WEEKEND
AT A PGL IN SWINDON 12-14th OCTOBER
At long last the big day had arrived after months of form filling and paying the money in three lots plus measuring each girl for their lovely purple tops which they wore while away. The leaders also had to wear these tops as well – so when we were altogether we looked like a lot of grapes.
There were 4 coaches which left The Green on Friday full of Brownies, Guides & Rangers plus the leaders. After all the luggage was stowed away we were off and the journey was quite good except our coach ran into a spot of slow-moving traffic and made us late arriving.
Directly on arrival we were shown into the dining hall for soup and rolls with different fillings. Most of our girls left them as they had eaten a packed tea on board the coach which unfortunately caused 2 to be sick!!
The girls went to bed and so did the Guiders as we had to be up very early the next morning.
The plan for the girls was that the PGL staff took their groups to different places such as Zip Wire; Trapeze; Swinging chair; etc and a Guider would accompany them to make sure the girls were happy and safe and generally look out for them.
The grounds were huge and we spent most of our time moving from one place to another, but it was great fun for the girls.
Lunch was again a rush to get there on time as we all had slots and you must not miss them.
While all the fun was going on most of our Guiders had to attend some training such as our New Programme plus Safe Guarding and First Aid.
On Saturday night the girls had a disco in a barn and we Guiders had a get together with Cheese & Wine.
Again, another early night as our group had to be at breakfast by 7am and the day dawned with the rain pouring down, but in good guiding fashion we kept going and making sure that all the girls were well protected from the rain off they went.
They had a most amazing time and they were absolutely full of it when they returned and we had other guiders come up to us to say that all our girls were well behaved and polite, which is lovely.
Home time came all too soon and we all boarded the coach for a quiet journey home as most of the Guides fell asleep. Although all the Guiders were tired we all enjoyed it very much.
