Fall program planned for. irl Guides' "Beaver" Division of the Girl Guides and Brownies held an Executive meeting at Im- maculate .t,Conception School, Formosa, Ontario with 16 members present. Beaver Division comprises an area encircled by Goderich, Clinton, Listowel, Palmerston, Harriston, Mount Forest, Durham, Walkerton to Lucknow. It was noted that Barrie is going to host the "Guider Gathering" on March 8th and 9th . . . Four Brown Guiders and Four Blue Guiders will be able to attend from Beaver Division. The choice of girls to attend will be announced at a later date. The Area Annual (Silver Birch Area) is to be held on April 5th and 6th in Kitchener while the Provincial Annual will be held at Peterborough on May 10th, 11th and 12th. A Commissioner's Training session was set for Alliston on February 15th and 16th. All District Commissioners were urged to attend .this important meeting. A Volleyball and Badminton Tournament has been planned for Guelph at the University of Guelph sometime in May. It is the hope of promoters to even- tually gear this tourney to a Provincial playoff and perhaps a Dominion -wide tourney. At present it will be an Area event, but this will still mean that in order to see which team and what individuals will get to go, there will have to be District playoffs and tilso a Division playoff. There seems to be considerable interest in Beaver Division by the girls to enter this competition, so the event should prove moat suc- cessful. {� Executive members likewise felt there should be a closer relationship in Beaver Division, so a Divisional An- nual was planned for April 27th in Hanover (Satallte Com- p9'ny to be the hosts) and this will allow the Guiders a chance to meet one another. The various departments in Beaver gave a report on their work over the past year and what they plan to do in the future. The Division's Budget was also .set for 1975 with exe. penditures expected to meet the $1,800.00 mark. The next meeting will be held in Clinton's Legion Hall on Monday, March 5th.
