After raising money with coffee morning’s and quizes we were able to get the “Olive Room” rejuvenated. We are extremely grateful to Jane’s Dad, Bill for all his work decorating the room. Thanks to the church for getting the roof repaired so the rain does not ruin his hard work. Bill has been down the church regularly over the past few weeks painting and
now with the new carpet laid, new blinds are fitted and two nice notice boards for us and the junior church so it is already for the official opening. The toilet has be spruced up as well with a coat of paint and the excess carpet used. The next phase is to get a skip and dispose of all the rubbish which came out of it and all the other rubbish around the place but that will have to wait until we finish clearing the hut.
Thanks once again to Mr Copperwheat who came and
talked to the boys about his wartime aeroplane models (below). Another interesting evening which the boys enjoyed, as well as all
the officers.

During the school holidays recently we tried a new experiment, we met on the two Fridays and ran it as a youth club type activity. All the groups joined together and we supplied a meal and drink for all the boys, helpers and officers and we charged £2 each night for the refreshments. Thank to the staff and helpers who gave up their weeks off during the holiday for the boys and I believe it was a great success, hopefully a service we can provide again during the holiday weeks.

News:

On Monday, 26th May, 14 members of our Girls’ Brigade Company will be joining with others from Kettering, Burton Latimer and Rothwell at
our Bi-Annual Camp. This year we will be going to the Sir John Lowther Scout Centre at Glendon, near Kettering, again. We will be going on two day trips during the week and taking part in various other activities
during the 5 days we are at camp.
We would be grateful for any donations of tins of food, packets of
biscuits or crisps, or home-made cakes, etc. for the girls to enjoy
whilst at camp. If you have any donations please see Jeanette, Alison
or Rita, or bring them to church on Sunday, 25th May. Many thanks
in anticipation of your help.
The Juniors have been thinking recently about people with special
needs. To help them realise what life would be like if they lost their
sight they were set a challenge of making a sandwich and a drink
whilst blindfolded. The sandwiches looked interesting but the girls
enjoyed eating them all the same.
Well done to Zoe who attended the Officers training course at
Glendon during March. She must now wait for the Heather Davis
(formerly Northants Commissioner) to visit her on a Monday
evening when she has to take the evening including the devotions,
games and badgework. She will also visit another GB Company to
see how it is run to enable her to compare ideas and bring new
games, etc. back to us at Carey. We can then promote
Zoe to a lieutenant later in the year, watch this space.
Our officers and helpers were involved in the weekend, we
went over and prepared, cooked and washed up after the
meals for the officers and girls at training .

Information:

The girls meet on a Monday evening. They start at 4 years old (if at school) in the Explorer Section and move through to the Juniors, Seniors and Brigaders. The girls are taught various life skills from four basic badge work sections Physical, Educational, Spiritual and Service. 

Not only do the girls do their badge work but they also play team games and share in a time of devotions each week
