First birthday

Blackwall Junior Girl Guides celebrated its first birthday at the Ettalong Guides Hall on August 10.

Girl Guide publicity officer Ms Leonie Newson said it was great to see the Blackwall group grow steadily over the past year.

"The unit began in 2008 with Ronnie Joyce as unit leader and a total of three girls," Ms Newson said.

"Membership is now at 22 girls ranging in ages from six years to 10 years who eagerly participate in the various activities each week.

"Over the past 12 months we have been camping, attended Thinking Day, kite flying, participated in a swimming carnival and sold Girl Guide biscuits."

For membership information, telephone Cynthia on 4328 3247.
