Once we had agreed on 3 sessions, we would need to find a way to get between 60 and 70 girls along.
By creating lists from both "waiting to join" and "assigned" on Join Us, we had lots of girls of the right age to choose from.
We narrowed it down by only looking for girls over 7 and in the Divisions immediately adjoining Cowley. We also looked for clusters of 2 or more girls so that parents could organise car pooling for the journeys to and from the centre. This gave us an initial target list of 57 Brownies.
An e-mail was sent out to DCs cc'd to Division Commissioners on 30/6 asking for permission to contact the girls parents directly about the programme. Commissioners were invited to propose additional names to us if they were aware of girls who should be added to our invites.
As permissions came back in, contact addresses were extracted (rather laboriously) from GO! and letters and permission slips sent to each family by post.
We're delighted you are interested in this project which we hope will get more girls into Guiding in Gloucestershire and having a great time. Please feel free to share your comments. I will be using this Blog to record the way we have gone about it so that if others are interested they can use or improve the process
