Every Wednesday evening, you will find a hive of activity at Radstock Methodist Hall, where the young girls of Trinity Girls’ Brigade meet to play games, learn new skills, craft, sing and learn stories and lessons from the Bible.
A welcoming and accessible group for girls, the leaders provide a fantastic range of activities throughout the year; including all manner of craft, cooking, badge and keyring making, dance choreography, singing and drama performances and much more. Each term, the girls, who are split into four age groups, work towards a badge, and at the end of each term, parents are invited to a certificate and badge presentation ceremony.
The girls enjoy additional activities throughout the year, such as carol singing at Christmas, community services at Trinity Methodist Church, a day out at a national conference in Devon and, most excitingly, the annual Girls’ Brigade summer camp, where the girls spend three nights and four days together in Weston-super-Mare, enjoying cooking, eating and sleeping together and fun activities each day, such as a visit to a water park and a farm and, of course, time to play on the beach.
In 2018, the Girls Brigade celebrated its 125th year with a number of great activities. At Trinity Girls’ Brigade, parents enjoyed a spectacular evening of performances from the girls to mark the celebration year, and the girls achieved an additional special edition 125th Anniversary badge.
This year, the group has staggered the times to accommodate younger girls, with the Explorers’ Group, aged four to Year 2, meeting 5.15 p.m. to 6.15 p.m., and Year 3s upwards meeting from 6.30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The older teens have the opportunity to train as young leaders.
Recently, the younger girls brought a friend along for a teddy bears’ picnic, which they shared with the Trinity Girls’ Brigade bear, Fudge, and their own teddy bears as well.
Trinity Girls’ Brigade offers a warm welcome and an instant set of friends. If your daughter is interested in joining, please feel free to just turn up any Wednesday, or please feel free to call Kate on: 01225 769961 or: 07543 806525 or email: [email protected]
