Lord Lieutenant at Ballymena Trefoil Guild

The speaker was Mrs Joan Christie OBE, Lord Lieutenant for County Antrim, who gave a very informative and amusing talk about her role as Her Majesty the Queen’s representative in the county. She also spoke about her experience as a guest at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in 2011.

Mrs Christie is a former County Commissioner for Girlguiding North Antrim and still promotes Girlguiding, as the County’s Ambassador, whenever an opportunity arises.

The Trefoil Guild is an organisation for adults over 18 years of age, who may or may not have had previous involvement in Girlguiding and wish to continue their interest and keep the guiding spirit alive.

The main aim of the Trefoil Guild is to support Girlguiding UK. It also provides friendship, fun and activities for its members.

North Antrim County has four Trefoil Guilds in Antrim, Ballycastle, Ballymena and Ballymoney. The Ballymena Guild meets on the last Thursday in the month from September to May in the Moravian Church Hall, Gracehill at 7.30pm. The next meeting is on October 25.

new members will be most welcome.
