Cubs, Brownies, Guides and Scouts

We would like to thank the Saxlingham Cubs, Brownies, Guides and Scouts for for coming to the Church for their meetings this week.

The meetings started with Lynn doing a short tour of the church – talking about the bells, the font and the stained glass and some of the memorials.  We then split into groups.

For the Cubs and Brownies we had three groups – one colouring a drawing of the window of St. Edmund, one completing the Church Trail Quiz and the third…hand bell-ringing!

For the Guides and Scouts we had two groups – one for the Church Trail Quiz and the other hand bell-ringing.

We hope everyone enjoyed learning about the church.  We were very pleased to find a total of 92 enthusiastic hand bell ringers over the course of the week – we hope some will return to ring the hand bells again and move on to the new bells in the future!
