2010 - Centenary of Girl Guiding. THE 57th Barry Scout and Guide Annual Fete was a resounding success, helping to boost the funds needed by local groups in the town and surrounding districts.
Mrs Williams, known as Dolly, said even though she was 97 years old “she has never stopped being a Guide and will always be a Girl Guide at heart”. The theme for this year’s fete was 100 Years of Girl Guiding and the winner of the ‘best decorated site’ was presented to the 1st Wenvoe Scout Group. The ‘best stall’ was presented to ‘The Pirate’s Revenge’ run by the 6th Barry Sea Scout Group. The winners of the ‘lucky programme draw’ were 1st: (£250) Fay Blakeley, 2nd (£50 ) EA Sheppard, 3rd (£25) L Georgiou – all from Barry. Following the official opening, the programme kept visitors entertained throughout the afternoon, with displays from the Above and Beyond Aerial Display Team.
“We would also like to thank those who helped to set up and run the event, the countless helpers setting up the stalls, the parents and friends organising each group’s contributions, and the sponsors and patrons who provide much-needed financial support.” The committee also pointed out that the fete would not be possible without the support of the Vale Council, the visible services staff, Barry Town Council, the Cwm Talwg Community Centre, St John’s Ambulance, South Wales Police, and the Barry Air Training Corps (372 Squadron).
