Rainbows, Brownies and Guides The last few weeks have been very eventful for Burry Port Rainbows, Brownies and Guides who joined with other Carmarthenshire groups celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. The Rainbows held a fun day at Penclacwydd with pond dipping, willow weaving and many other activities. The Guides held a cook-in on the Pembrey Racing Circuit in an effort to find an unusual place to cook and the Brownies took over Kidwelly Castle, where they enjoyed weaving, maypole dancing and a wonderful re-enactment of the story of Merlin and King Arthur. They also joined with Pembrey Brownies in a service of dedication at the Memorial Park gardens and many thanks are extended to the town council for helping to mark the centenary in such a colourful way.

For further club information go to www.rotary1150.org and click on club list on top banner and then select Cefn Sidan. President Bryan Digby chaired his first meeting on July 6, which began with a minute’s silence, to commemorate the first anniversary of the death of past president and former treasurer Gwyn Thomas, of Mynyddygarreg. The meeting was a fellowship evening, and as such an informal one, with three projects being discussed. Rotarian James Akeroyd, chairman of the International Service Committee outlined the proposal to support a project in India, which is striving to secure the purchase of a minibus to service a school of 60 blind children. The Thanks for Life project, which is Rotary’s world wide initiative to eradicate Polio, is to be supported by the national campaign to plant crocus corms in the form of the Rotary wheel emblem. The club is to receive the corms in the autumn, for planting to flower in the spring of 2011
