Once a year the Gauteng Central Region holds a tea for the Candlelight Club which is a group of state pensioners who are hosted monthly by various charitable organisations. Guides, Brownies and Rangers in the region collect basic foodstuffs and toiletries and these are handed out to the pensioners.
Guiders, Commissioners and GSG members were busy from early on setting up tables, plates of food, cups and plates. Guides and Brownies arrived a little later to take tea and coffee orders and serve them. After everybody had had a good tea, the pensioners enjoyed a couple of games of Bingo and then were sent home with a tub of basic essentials. The Brownies had decorated some of the containers with bits of coloured paper and they looked very festive.
The adult leaders and the girls worked very hard but had the satisfaction of doing a good turn.
