We were both surprised and happy when we were asked to be Joint County Commissioners for Somerset North; this is the first time a job share has been done for the County Commissioner post, and we look forward to the next five years, and hope that you will be pleased with our plans, several of which you have suggested.

Between us we have 75 years as adult leaders, and have held various appointments, the last being Division Commissioner for Clevedon & Portishead, and County Outdoor Activity Adviser

We are both Unit Guiders, so we know what you do for your units is very important to the girls, and that a lot of time and hard work goes into planning lots of activities, and we thank you for your continued support.

We hope you are enjoying the summer break and that if you have been on Camp or Holiday that you had a great time; and if you are getting ready to go, we hope you have fun and that the weather stays fine!

Can we ask you to take photos of some of your activities and Email them to us, so we can include some in future presentations’ & publications.

Saturday 8^th October will be our next County Day and there are some great activities to do, sessions to attend, and stalls to visit!

We are looking forward to seeing you there so please come up and speak to us, as we would like to get to know as many people as possible.

Also, we’d really like to be invited to your units, and to any District events; we want to enjoy your Guiding with you!

Karen & Sue
