Goostrey Guides

Fiona Bruce MP meets Goostrey Guide fundraising for trip to Germany
Fiona Bruce MP met with Emma Harvey, a Girl Guide from Goostrey, who is fundraising for a Guide trip to Germany with 7 other Guides from the Cheshire area.
Emma Harvey has been involved in Girlguiding in Goostrey for 9 years and now belongs to the 2nd Jodrell Senior Section for girls aged 14 to 25 in Goostrey and Holmes Chapel. She is also a Young Leader with 2nd Goostrey Brownies.
In order to take part in this trip of a lifetime the Guides each have to raise £1000 and are doing so through a variety of fundraising activities including selling dates from the calendar and holding a Masquerade Ball at Cranage Hall.
The aim of this trip is to share experiences and strengthen relationships between Guides from Cheshire and from other countries. The girls will stay at the German Guiding Association facility at Castle Rieneck near Frankfurt, and will also attend “Adventures in Berlin”, a large scale international venture undertaken by Girlguiding Northwest England at which the North West Guides are all lending a hand.
Emma said “I am really looking forward to this trip; it will be so interesting to help at the international event in Berlin and to meet Guides from other parts of the world.”
Fiona Bruce said “ I encourage people to generously support Emma and her fellow Guides to enable them to travel on these trips which are life changing experiences both for the Guides who travel and for those they meet and help in other countries.”
