The audience members joined in enthusiastically with some of the items and equally showed their appreciation for the programme which the girls and young staff put on.

In keeping with the overall theme for the night “Promises, Promises”, Tiny Tots performed a charming play entitled ‘Rainbow’, using colourful ribbons and the older Explorers took the audience on a trip to the seaside with a wonderful selection of songs and poetry.

Juniors demonstrated their figure marching skills to music, while Seniors performed a rhythmic ribbon routine to ‘Let it Go’ and Brigaders took part in an entertaining competition entitled ‘I’m a Brigader, get me out of here!’

The finale, ‘Promises’, provided an insight into the Scripture lessons learned this year considering some of the thousands of promises found in the Bible and showcased the choir’s beautiful singing.

The Guest of Honour Mrs. Heather Nutt (nee Lyons), a past officer and girl in the company, complimented the girls on their amazing turn-out and their exciting programme.

She went on to inspire them to remain enthusiastic about serving God through Girls’ Brigade.
