Hi Guides! This post is regarding announcements, so please take note!

1. Banner

a) Those who would like to help paint the banner, Shermaine and Emma would be putting a list on the guides board. So please sign up by next Thursday (so sign up during your recess). They will ask again during announcements on anyone who would like to sign up, but if you want to go home early and not spend time on these matters, do try and sign up during recess! Also, please try to sign up for the banner painting. It really is very fun, and when you see the completed banner, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment!

b) We need people to submit their banner designs, also on Thursday next week. Do remember that the theme is retro! Submit to Shermaine and Emma too!

2. Homework

For those who have not completed your Water, Gas and electric mains, please also bear in mind that you have to do that up, and submit to Janice on Thursday during patrol time. This will not take you more than half an hour to do, so please make an effort to do it!

3. Roll Call

Flowerpecker take note: Next week, you will NOT be doing roll call. Sparrow will be doing it, as they have not done it for a very long time. Thank You!

4. Make up tests

This is a reminder for guides who have failed their test/missed any of their tests to come to the guides room on Wednesday during common recess to sit for it. Please study for the tests beforehand as you will have 45 mins, and recess is only an hour. Message me by Monday latest if you are coming and what tests you need to take. Also, please note that this make up tests are for those who have missed the tests. If your whole level has not taken it, we will arrange a guides session for your whole level to do it. Be punctual.

This would take effect from the following week, 1st February!

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact any of the leaders!

We are really sorry for not telling you earlier, but there will be guides this Thursday, 5th January 2012. Guides has started for the year. We ourselves only knew about it today, so we hope you have not made any arrangements. Only those with valid reasons will be entertained. Please submit your reasons to any of the guiders ASAP. As of now, this is the programme, but it is subject to changes. The confirmed programme will be up by wednesday!

Some PLs will be involved in the CCA walkabout that day, so the PSes will have to take over. PLs, please check your email tomorrow regarding the programme, and let your PSes know if they have to take attendance in place of you. PLs please take note as well, that if you are in the first shift, you are to attend guides after your shift. If you are in the second shift, you are to attend guides before your shift. You can leave at 3 to change into your uniform.

Once again, we are sorry! See you on Thursday!
