Gilwern Brownies

Gilwern Brownies welcome girls between 7 and 12 years old and meet in the Primary School on Wednesdays from 6:15 until 7:30.

We play games, work for badges, and go on trips, Later in May we are going to Techniquest in Cardiff to do our Science Investigator Badge. In November we went there for our Stargazer badge and had a brilliant time. Other trips have included McDonalds Garden Centre to learn about bulbs and Ebbw Vale Fire Station for our Fire Safety Badge. We also have card making evenings and send lots of cards to the Marie Curie Card Appeal for selling in their shops. Soon we have a Breconshire County Animal Safari at Talybont-on-Usk.

New members may use club bowls when first joining, but must provide their own bowling shoes (flat soles).

Weekly sessions are, in the main, for social bowling, but competitive bowlers are adequately provided for.
