Guessens Guide Hut - Appeal For Votes Successful!
The Welwyn Garden City Heritage Trust has had many wonderful Guide & Brownie memories and photos donated to its archive. Now the current Rainbows, Brownies and Guides in Guessens District, WGC are closer to their dream of a new hut.
A phenomenal amount of money was raised and building work began but they were still short of funds. Guessens Guide Hut was shortlisted for a Jewsons Building Better Communities Award but needed the public vote so that they could receive an award of several thousand pounds of building materials & take them close to the finish line in terms of fundraising.
