Hello!
We had an unofficial meeting on 20th January from 2.45pm - 5.45pm. Ok. Firstly, I would like to apologise for spoiling the Guides Blog today. It was due to my itchy fingers. I changed the template and the coy picture is gone, together with comments made by everyone, including the whole list of the previous PLC and PSC! To all those that made the blog possible, a thousand apologies to you. I feel extremely horrible right now! I'm really sorry. Also, I'm very worried that Natalie will scold me! :( I'm terrified now. Will definitely not have a good sleep! I'm so sorry! :( But thanks to sherwynn's help, I've managed to put in the list of PLC and PSC for 04/05 and 05/06. Unfortunately, I can't find 06/07 so I will ask Natalie for their names.

So, during this meeting, we did pioneering. This was in preparation for our whole day event with the Monfort scouts. We were going to tie the Roman Catapult! :D The last time the seniors tied this structure was at the end of 2007 so their memory for this got a little rusty. Thus, the PLs were trying to recall while we tied part of it. Firstly, we tied 2 A-frames, which was a combination of 2 black-whites and a blue-green for each. Following that, we took 2 blue-greens to tie at the front of the A-frame, making it in an 'X' shape. Afterwards, we tied 2 black-whites to the A-frame such that it looked almost like a wheelbarrow. Later, we tied another black-white across the 2 poles. Then, we brought it out to the outdoor stage (we were at the corridor as it had been drizzling earlier) to bring the last few pieces together before we could fully operate it. We tied one last black-white onto the horizontal line of the A-frame and just had to attach a holder to it but was not in time to finish. Luckily, the other group managed to finish assembling the whole structure. With that, we tied a dustpan to the lever and put Joycelyn's slipper onto it and .. FIRED! It was great fun and Dorothy also encouraged the juniors to trying firing the catapult. When we had finished having fun, we were given a time limit to clear up and assemble back at the outdoor stage.

When everyone had returned, we fell in and did footdrills. We started with the 'satu tua' footdrill. The aim of it was to form a perfect square for foordrills. Quite alot of time was spent on that formation technique as the PLs kept 'semula-ing' us. This was because we did not shout loud enough. It was quite funny at first but later got quite tired of it. As majority of the meeting time was spent on pioneering, we did not have much time to work on our 'satu tua' footdrill and other commands as well.

Okie doke. I'm finished! Yay! Haha. :D

With endless apologies (I still am sorry for my itchy fingers), Melissa! :)
