Olive Wenborn and Marjory Law both received their appointment badges on stage in front of hundreds of Guiders from accross the County. The appointment of Vice-presidents is a great honour, entirely within the gift of the President, and are only made to Guiders who have made a significant contribution Olive with Avril to Guiding over many years. Olive has been in Essex for many years and has worked tirelessly in a variety of roles throughout her time as a Guider. Marjory has also been invollved for many years, recently standing down as Chairman of the Essex Trefoil Guild. Avril said, ‘I am delighted these ladies accepted my invitation to become vicepresidents and I look forward to having them as part of the Presidents team for a long while to come’. Marjory with Avril Guiding does not end there of course, because the duties and responsibitilies of a vice-president are to maintain Guiding in Essex West and to continue to support Guiding in their own area by badge testing, taking IT’S GETTING CLOSER! part in events and being active in the Trefoil Guild etc, so there is still plenty for VPs to do!! C he County project for Change the World is ‘Save The Children’. People at the County meeting voted by putting a coin on the project of choice and Save The Children had one more coin than any others and £19.50 was raised through the voting. There will be more details about the County Project later but, of course, Units are free to choose a project of their choice too T
