I think I acquired this record as part of a Job Lot as 1989 is generally outside the era I collect, the foster child was a member of the Girl Guides for a time and went to one camp, she loved it and was looking forward to going again but left the Guides before the next camp, she was also a member of the local Church Choir, part of the requirement for the award she was aiming for required her to attend a residential choir course, she was dead against this, she was eventually persuaded to go on return she changed her mind and wanted to go again, she went to at least another five.
My elder sister was a member of the Guides and they organised a weekend camp at the local camping site where we lived in Hampton (The Beveree long gone and built on, it rained all weekend, she came back Sunday evening soaking wet, hating both the Guides and Camping, my younger sister was also in the Guides but being at Boarding School they never went camping. I was in the Scouts and don't remember any problems camping. Later someone I met through helping at a Children's Camp said "as an organisation the Guides were responsible for putting more girls/women off camping than all the other organisations put together".
