Trefoil Guild year in review

The Trefoil Guild has reached its 80th Anniversary and in Moray appears to be in good health. The four guilds are maintaining their numbers and providing programmes with ample depth and variety. All have utilised the ideas provided by the national team to meet up, tackle challenges and further friendships.

Some of the highlights include, the Buckie Guild visiting the Fochabers Heritage Museum, making knitted flowers to contribute to the display put on in the square by Buckie Pool, and making American style chocolate mug cakes in the microwave.

The Forres Guild were fascinated by their speaker Andy Dornie who related information about his time as a prison chaplain, had members join a trip to Switzerland which always proves a delight and took advantage of the fact the Scottish AGM was reasonably near at hand in Perth to take a trip.

The Keith Guild went a bit further afield than Buckie to visit their heritage museum with a trip to the Highland Folk Museum at Kingussie with a suitable coffee stop at the Heather Centre at Carrbridge, became energetic with a bowling session in Elgin not forgetting the coffee stop at Fochabers and joined in activities with Rainbows back home in Keith.

The Moray Guild had an outing to Morayvia where Uncle Bob and friends educated all of us on the aircraft exhibits which was followed by a meal at the Mosset Tavern in Forres where they cut a 30th Birthday cake for the guild, there were speakers on Metropolitan policing and NESS - the sensory services and paper weights were made using felting skills.

The opportunities to meet other Trefoil groups this year were great with members attending the Scottish AGM in Perth and the National AGM in Glasgow. The Coronation afforded us the chance to hold an afternoon tea party with suitable indulgent goodies for all on the 7 May at the Lossiemouth Guide Hut. May I thank all for their support during my time as County Chairman and wish Merlys all the best for her term of office.
