  • Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN #313
    Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN Volume 54 No. 5 (Whole No. 313) SPECIAL CENTENARY EDITION SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2010 1 Editorial Well we got a bit better timing with the last issue and, hopefully, will do even better still with this one. It is interesting when one considers “club” publications and their timing, etc. Like most people I am a member of several clubs including, amongst others, The Great Eastern Railway Society. This is an historical society which studies the railway which built the network throughout East Anglia here in the UK. I was instrumental in founding the Society back in 1973 and it has always been one of my interests. The Society publish two magazines, both on a quarterly basis - on alternate quarters throughout the year. The people there don’t seem to get so hung up on the dates of publication because I have just received the January, 2010 issue of their Journal. I mentioned the forthcoming World Jamboree in the last issue and our attempts to share a base / stand with the International Badgers Club. We have now finally heard from one of the organisers, who has been given responsibility for an Historic Exhibition at the event, saying that we are welcome to assist but we must become members of our National Contingent for IST and apply through that. Needless to say the UK has long since selected their Contingents so we have had to reluctantly decline the invitation - but have offered assistance if there is anything particular which is needed. I will end this editorial with thanks for the small supply of new articles and a request for more.

JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2011 1 Editorial Welcome to 2011 - a World Jamboree Year - and it really doesn’t seem like four years since we were running our base, alongside the International Badgers Club, here in Chelmsford. I wish all those who are attending an enjoyable time and an experience which will last them a lifetime. I am pleased to inform you that our member Hallvard Slettebø served successfully as Apprentice Juror at the FIP world stamp exhibition Portugal 2010, and has now received accreditation as FIP Juror for Thematic Philately. I am sure that you will all join with me in congratulating him on this success. Elsewhere in this issue you will see a formal announcement of the Annual General Meeting which is being held earlier this year in the hope that it will encourage and enable more members to attend. As last year the Meeting will be held at the Scout Docklands Project aboard the H.Q. Training Ship, the MV Lord Amory, commenc- ing at 14.00. The site is within easy walking distance of stops on the Docklands Light Railway and there is a local area map on the back page showing directions. I hope that you all enjoy this issue and the good news is that I still have some articles in hand, including the final part of Peter Duck’s Handstamps. However, not to be complacent, I would welcome some more so that the Bulletin can have a balance of subjects and I can have a choice in filling the spaces.

  • Annual Report Presented by Pat Downer National Chair Trefoil Guild Madam Chair, Guests & Fellow Members
    The Trefoil Guild Annual Meeting 2018 Annual Report presented by Pat Downer National Chair Trefoil Guild Madam Chair, guests & fellow members. It gives me great pleasure to present our annual report on behalf of the trustees… But first I would like to wish you all a very… This year the report will be a little different from usual as I thought it would be good to reflect on our history before bringing you all up to date with what is happening now. In the Guider Magazine August 1943, there was an article about the meaning of ‘Guild’ and it suggested that it meant “larger than the family” which fits well with today as we are like an extended family to Girlguiding. It also said that a Guild was formed for protection, instruction and conviviality and good cheer whilst watching over & protecting the interest of the craft or trades, to see if they were honorable, solvent and to help needy members. It was also mentioned that a Guild would ensure equal pay…well that is still correct, we all volunteer and earn nothing but get rewarded in different ways! The article also stated that a section for over 21 year-olds was fully discussed by the Executive committee with all the Branch Commissioners and it was agreed to form a Trefoil Guild. Details would be appearing in the September Magazine but in the meantime, would commissioners & Guiders refrain from writing to headquarters on the subject! Guider Magazine September 1943 Did you read the article in August Guider? It was published for more than its historical interest.
