Lindsey Wilkinson runs the 3rd Newton (St Clare’s) Guide Unit, which reopened in January 2012, after having been closed for many years.

The unit is rapidly growing, having already doubled in size since opening, but we have a problem which we are hoping Newton News readers can help us with.

In the time that the unit was closed, our flag has been lost and despite much searching, cannot be found. The Guides Parade is held at St Clare’s church each month and we are having to borrow a flag from another unit at the moment.

To get a new one made would be very expensive, and as a new unit, we don’t have the funds for this. We would prefer to find the unit’s original flag as it is part of our history so we are appealing to anyone who may have information regarding its whereabouts.

We would really like to find it before Remembrance Sunday as we won’t be able to borrow the other one as it will be needed for its own unit to parade.

Lindsey Wilkinson,

Guide Leader.
