The 1st Great Barfordand Blunham Brownies raised over £212 for the RNLI following a talk by Biggleswade branch presenter and box secretary, Matthew Kilpin.

The brownies, aged between six and seven years old, were very keen to learn all about lifeboats and as a result joined Storm Force, the RNLI's club for young people, and held a 90-minute bazaar to raise money for the branch.

The girls sold cakes, refreshments, bric-a-brac and organised games, while Biggleswade branch members sold pin badges and raffle tickets from their souvenir stall and organised a 'guess the name of the lifeboatman' game..
