On Saturday 25th October, I received a telephone call from my County Commissioner, Kath for West Yorkshire South County. Kath had just got back from her Executive Meeting at North East England Region (York) and said that I had been nominated and got elected to represent the Region on the CHQ Council (GirlguidingUK) as from May 2009.

I was stunned to hear that as I was thinking oh there'll be loads of people who will be nominated from the Region as our Region covers Northumberland, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Cleveland etc and was amazed that the Exec chose me!

So I'll be a great ambassador for the County and the Region when I start my new role next August 2009.

It has been an amazing year since I had the cochlear implant and have worked so hard on the Girlguiding side.... I obviously don't know what "no" means at the moment!!! As I'm always saying "yes, I'll do it"!!

Got Chosen!

What a week! As you may know that I do Guides and and my Assistant County Commissioner recommended me to apply to take part on the Leaders International Selection Weekend in September.

Well I went to the selection weekend and boy it was hardwork but fun (that was more important!). We were told to wait up to 2 weeks for the result so fair enough!

Yesterday a letter arrived and I opened it and found out that my guide county West Yorkshire South would like me to represent our county to attend a trip to CCJam09 at Camp Samac in Ontario (Canada) next August 2009!!!

But in the next paragraph as I was reading on and found out that they have chosen me to be the leader in charge with three other assistants. That's hard work but I'm delighted to say that I've accepted the offer to organise everything!

So I'll be busy for a year now - I'm so chuffed and over the moon!

Roll on August 2009!
