Last year the club agreed to judge, and sponsor a small trophy, for the Herefordshire Girlguiding photography competition. The event was held successfully but we were unable to present the trophy to the winner due to COVID related restrictions. Happily on the 11th June Girlguiding Herefordshire were once more able to hold their annual Award Event which celebrates all aspects of achievement including Long Service Awards, Leadership Qualifications and Good Service Brooches.
