Were you in the Brownies or Guides? Then why not come along and join others in the Persevere Trefoil Guild. We have four meetings a year when we have speakers on various topics and a Christmas Party filled with fun, games and food. We also have an outing in the summer. From time to time we join other Guilds in Edinburgh for social events. Our first meeting is on Thursday 8 October at 7.30 pm and will be held in St Thomas’-Junction Road church hall. Thereafter all meetings (the second Thursday in December, February and April) will be held in Leith St Andrew’s Church Lochend hall.

A warm welcome is extended to any new members wishing to join us. Further information can be had from Maddy Lumsden (661 1222) or Pat Skivington (669 7465)
