When Helene arrived in Wall Heath, West Midlands she was invited
to attend the District Leaders' meeting, where a very special day out was being
planned for the Rainbows’ 25th birthday. We hope it will be a big
adventure! While Helene was at the
meeting, she became an honorary member of Himley
Division and was presented with our centenary pin – we hope
she’ll continue to wear the badge as she continues her global journey.

| Everyone's a winner |
At Guides, the girls had completed the sport stage of On Your Marks...
At previous Guide nights we had made energy bars, created a new fitness
activity and had a mini games night and tonight was the award ceremony. Everyone was a winner and got a gold medal
(chocolate of course). Helene had a special mini-medal made for her. Not many
medals made it home!

Saturday 31st March. It was BIG GIG day!! We travelled
by train in our frilly tutus, and Helene got her own special one. When we got there some Guides bought BIG GIG badges and bags,
but the Leaders just wanted a cup of tea!

The concert started with The Saturdays and everyone started
dancing and singing. Helen Skelton
presented the acts and she got all the Guides stamping and screaming. There
were lots of good acts but our favourite was Olly Murs. Only two of the Guides had been to Big Gig
before so Helene and the Guides were amazed to see so many Guides.

The Guides said: ‘ It’s been amazing’. ‘Absolutely brilliant’. ‘Enjoyed it a lot,
Olly Murs was the best’. ‘Big Gig rocks.
I loved it when Rizzle Kicks was on the stage’. ‘Hope we can go next year.’
On the way home, there were so many Guides wanting to get on
the trains, they had to close the platform, but only for a short time. We were
soon on the train home, very excited but very tired, and rather quiet – we had
no voices left! We hope Helene gets her voice back for her next adventure...
