HOLIDAY fun has been arranged so children can try out the Guides in Worcester and see if they want to join.

Girls aged 10 to 12 in Worcester are being given the opportunity to try out being a Girl Guide for just £1 as part of an activity session during half term.

Fun activities with a seasonal theme such as games crafts and cooking are on offer.

Two sessions are being offered, one at Ronkswood Hub in Canterbury Road, Ronkswood, Worcester (WR5) and on the morning of October 30 and the other on the morning of November 3 at Honeywell School in Tudor Way, Dines Green, Worcester (WR2).

Jo Capewell, one of the leaders who will be running the sessions, said: "Funding from HQ has given us this opportunity and we would like as many as girls as possible to come and give us a try."

Places need to be pre-booked as soon as possible.
