Girls at 1st Greens Norton Brownies have been joining in the celebrations for the national organisation’s 100th anniversary.
The Brownies took part in a range of different activities including recording their own song.
Across the Country, Brownies everywhere have been taking part in many different activities to mark the occasion. The Big Brownie Birthday celebrations have given exciting opportunities and events to nearly a quarter of a million Brownies in the UK.
1st Greens Norton Brownies, have taken part in a Starquest Event at Silverstone circuit, which took the girls on a journey through past, present and future zones. A party at Towcester Racecourse, where over 1200 Brownies from across the County joined together to take part in many varied activities including bouncy castles, spinning teacups, samba, rollercoasters and drumming. Followed by a sleepover at Towcester Leisure Centre. A big thank you must be said to the leaders and organisers who have helped give the Brownies all over Northamptonshire an unforgettable year.
To mark this milestone celebration, the girls from 1st Greens Norton Brownies were lucky enough to work with ActuallyAmy Songwriting, which is run by Amy Clayton.
Amy is a talented local young singer/songwriter who came along to help the girls put together their very own birthday song helping them form the verses and chorus, along with the musical arrangement for the backing track. They had a fantastic time recording and all sang beautifully.
Amy said: “Greens Norton Brownies were full of energy and enthusiasm in writing their song, coming up with some great lyrics and melody lines. Such a pleasure to work with!”.
Cheri O’Dell, who runs Greens Norton Brownies added: “All of the girls had a wonderful time – and what talent they have! They made us very proud when they sang their song to the rest of the District at the Towcester Racecourse event. It has been a great end to our 100th year celebrations and a brilliant experience for the girls.”
