More articles published and some replies!

It's been an exciting week for Growing Guiding in Chislehurst Division.  Not only have 105 letters been posted to the parents / guardians of those waiting-to-join Rainbows, 3 people have replied!

I received a phone call from a recipient of a letter, saying that she had been wondering what had been happening with Rainbows locally; we had a good chat about the #MakeARainbow campaign and this parent will be completing the online form and coming along to one of the two Coffee Mornings in May.

Another parent has e-mailed our new e-mail address, explaining her preferences for new Rainbow units.  Someone else e-mailed a few weeks ago, expressing interest in volunteering as a Rainbow Leader, having seen a poster in Sainsbury's a while ago.  We have spoken on the phone and I am arranging for her to visit some local Rainbow meetings to see what they do.  

If you're reading this and have not received a letter about Rainbows in Chislehurst Division, you can access the form here.  Feel free to complete the form, then share the link with your friends who have daughters of Rainbow age (5 - 7) as we are keen to understand the local need.  

This is all part of a scoping exercise to help us establish where we might be able to establish new Rainbow units in Chislehurst and Petts Wood.  We have six venues in Chislehurst and Petts Wood poised to host new units.  We are really keen to get more adults involved as volunteers.  If this is something you are interested in, please get in touch! E-mail ChislehurstDivisionGrowGuiding@gmail.com and we can have coffee and an informal chat about the opportunities available.  

We are grateful for the Friends of Chislehurst Recreation Ground who have included our article in their newsletter.  Also, Raring2Go Bromley, whose magazine goes into 17,000 bookbags in Bromley Borough have kindly included our Growing Guiding blurb on p.12.
