Royal Show 2011

We would like to thank all our volunteers and staff for contributing their valuable time in assisting us in running a successful exhibition at this year’s 2011 Royal Adelaide Show.

We had great success this year, achieved partially from our new location closer to the children’s section, being a participant on the Yellow Brick Road and some great weather. However, the main success for this year came from the wonderful contribution all our volunteers gave in assisting us to fill the roster and be helpful as Guides are.

Plain biscuits proved to be more popular this year and we have now completely sold out of Plain Guide Biscuits for 2011 in Guide House and that is fantastic. We sold more biscuits in general this year but Mini’s are proving to be the favourite with 1150 packets sold, just beating the chocolate variety!

There were membership enquiries, volunteer enquiries and just great feedback from customers who were pleased to see we were still around and selling our biscuits, locating us much easier than in past years.

We had some great media attention this year with our new art and cooking competition at the Royal Adelaide Show that was noticed by many. We hope you managed to see our wonderful entries and will encourage all our Guides to enter next year, our centenary year 2012. There really were some outstanding entries and we are proud to have seen them on display! Check out the photos.

Some of our volunteers also went to the effort to help out at Parcel Minding too, I know Barb is very thankful for your assistance and we would like to send a special thank you for supporting Barb and Parcel Minding on behalf of Girl Guides South Australia. Parcel Minding has been looked after by Girl Guides for about 40 years with Barb there for about 32 of those years. Please join me in thanking and congratulating Barb for her tremendous contribution in this area. If you haven’t helped in Parcel Minding before, you may like to consider it for next year as both areas are of great importance in promoting Guiding to our South Australian Community.

Once again, THANK YOU!
