LIPHOOK DISTRICT GUIDES

2nd Liphook Rainbows - 2005

2nd Liphook Rainbows reopened in November 2004 with 10 girls. The addition of this second Rainbow Unit in the village was much needed due to the huge popularity and waiting list.

After Christmas an additional 5 girls joined, and the Unit now runs very comfortably with 15.

6th July 2005 was a massive day in the Unit's history, with the enrolment of almost all the girls in one evening (only one Rainbow had been previously enrolled).

The Unit enjoys a varied programme with crafts, games, competitions, singing and dancing. We wonder sometimes how we fit so much into our hour long meetings!

We have two excellent and able young leaders in Amy and Nicole. In addition we have had overwhelming support from mothers of the Rainbows themselves who have really given us the momentum to get started.

Particularly notable are Sue K, Sharka C, Karen P, Fiona S and Rowana T who have given freely of their time and talents to help make our Unit a success.

We have had our first graduate who has moved up to Brownies and has thoroughly enjoyed her time at Rainbows.

In addition to our regular meetings we have also arranged a trip to the theatre, and an Easter Crafts Day. Both of these were immensely popular and thoroughly enjoyed by the girls.
