Our first County Day for 18 months on 14^th May was a great success and the start of a new era for Girlguiding Somerset North.  After five wonderful years as County Commissioner I officially handed over the role to our two new Joint County Commissioners, Karen Rees and Sue Betts.

In a short ceremony I presented Karen and Sue with their new Commissioner Badges and wished them every success as they start their new adventure. Both Karen and Sue have a great deal of experience in guiding and also in their professional lives which, I am sure, will help them take the County forward.

Thank you to everyone for making my last day as County Commissioner such a special occasion and for the presents too.  The Centenary Teddy and the three glass pieces will all be a wonderful reminder of my term of office and I shall enjoy spending the money that you so generously gave – probably on a camera.

I am pleased to announce that I have accepted a new role as Chair of the Region Finance and General Purposes Committee and very much look forward to this new guiding challenge.

It has been a great pleasure to be County Commissioner for Somerset North; I have enjoyed it immensely but especially meeting and working with you all.

Thank you so much for your help, support and friendship.

With all best wishes,

Sue Maybury

County Commissioner 2006 –2011
