Golden Jubilee For Aranga

A delicious and appropriately decorated cake was the highlight of a special gathering of the Aranga Guides in the Guide Hall on July 10. The company celebrated its 50th anniversary. More celebrations took place over the following weekend with a fellowship and buffet dinner evening on the Saturday, and a church parade on the Sunday at Holy Trinity Church. The start of the company came when several girls met in the Parish Hall in Derby Street in 1925. Both present day Guides and Brownies enjoyed three days of very pleasant celebration functions.
