DEAR EDITOR - I would like to thank all those who gave their up time - the Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Leaders, to sing carols in the ASDA store in Bromsgrove just before Christmas.

We successfully raised £102.25 in just over an hour for the Acorns Children's Hospice in Selly Oak.

Thank you to all those who contributed and to Sandra Langdon at the store, who kindly arranged available space for us.

Clare Kenny,

West District Commissioner,

Bromsgrove Division,

The Guide Association.
