Are you one of our Facebook competition winners?
At the
beginning of August, we launched a competition for those who 'like'
our fan page on
Facebook. The prize was a copy of our Centenary documentary ‘100
years of the Girl Guides’ on DVD.
For every week in August, we published a question as our
Facebook page status and you posted your stories as
comments.
We've picked our winners, mainly by how many 'likes' the
received from our other fans, as well as on originality, humour and
dedication.
Here are the original questions and the winning answers.
What has been your Centenary mountain-top moment so far?
Winner - Dorothy Edwards
Having a go on the bungee trampoline at the Centenary camp at
Harewood and doing a backwards roll. To the teenagers who were
finding it easy this may not have been a great deal, but to a 40yr
old who hates heights and never goes on fairground rides this was a
huge achievement (a lot of thanks must go to my friend who did it
at the same time - we encouraged each other to have a go! - and
thanks also to the very patient instructors).
What do you think guiding will be like in 100 years?
Winner - Tracey Leverett
I think the uniform will have changed the most. Technology will
have developed a uniform that can self-mend when torn, cleans
itself without having to be put into the wash and is utterly
stain-proof, instantly looses any crinkles & creases the moment
it is worn, automatically imprints itself with the name of its
owner but changes if passed on, grows with the child and adheres
its own badges on at a touch!
What’s the funniest thing you’ve heard a Girlguiding UK member
say?
Winner - Seonaidh Hayton
At a service station near Kent, on the way to Italy, I bought a
chocolate brownie. The GIC comes running up to me shouting
'Headline, Guide eats Brownie!'
What do you love most about being a volunteer/supporter of
Girlguiding UK?
Winner - Christine Whelan
Having a 20 something year old woman call out to me in the
street, 'Hello Brown Owl'.
All the winners have been contacted via Facebook. If you weren't
lucky this time, we'll be starting our next tweet and seek
competition over on our Twitter
profile next week, more details coming soon. Our next
Facebook competition will be launching in October - so watch out
for that!
