We go away twice a year, camping in May where we do activities such as archery, rifle shooting abseiling & low rope courses and in Autumn we go on a night hike. Our residential experiences are always based on a theme chosen by the Guides, such as Harry Potter, Brit weekend, Girlguiding centenary, ‘I’m a Guide get me out of here’ & many others.
We were invited to join the Brownies on a tour of Wythenshawe FM recently & ended up talking about why we joined Guides & what we like about it, live on air!
St. Paul’s Church choir
St. Paul’s Church choir includes singers of all ages & is open to anyone who enjoys singing. We help lead the worship each Sunday, singing hymns, psalms, anthems & a musical setting of the Eucharist. We meet each Thursday evening during term time between 7.30 pm & 8.30 pm to rehearse.
We are asked to lead the singing each year at the Cenotaph at Sale Town Hall on Remembrance Sunday. Sometimes we join with our neighbouring parish for Confirmation or Ascension Day services and occasionally contribute to weddings at other churches. Many of our choristers have completed the Royal School of Church Music Voice for Life and singing awards to help develop their singing & music reading skills, although it is not necessary to read music to sing in the choir.

At Christmas we sing carols in Sale, sometimes in Tesco, Costa Coffee or Waitrose, as well as singing at a residential home.
We also try to do a concert which features both sacred & secular music and each year during the summer months we put on a short recital of organ, chamber or choral music on Sunday afternoons.
