Guide unit could close if a new leader is not found

A POPULAR guide group could close if members cannot find a new leader.

Members of 5th Nailsea Guides are desperately appealing for a new leader to come forward to save their group.

The unit has been running for 100 years, but the current leader has had to stand down and despite numerous appeals a replacement has still not been found.

Guide Olivia Morgan said: “After a few months of searching, no one has offered their time and commitment towards guides.

“We are a helpful and enthusiastic group of about 17 girls aged from 10 to 13 who would really appreciate someone to support us with their time to become a guider.

“It would involve an hour a week planning and an hour-and-a-half meeting with the guides every Monday evening.”

Full training will be given to the volunteer, who would be supported by an assistant guider. Anyone interested in the position can call district commissioner Jane on 01275 855018.
