Girl guides in the Devizes district will celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee with a party.
The Devizes and District Guiding Association has been awarded £100 from the Gazette’s Diamond Jubilee Events Grants scheme. The association will be holding a celebration barbecue and activity afternoon at the guide headquarters in Coate Road on June 2.
Every participant will receive a Union flag commemorative badge. There are 140 girls in the district.
Paula Postlethwaite, district commissioner, is going to be borrowing bunting used by her mother in 1977. She said: “When I told the Guides what we were doing they were excited. The Gazette grant will help towards the cost of the event.”
