Two Cardigan Guides were recently awarded the High Sheriff of Dyfed Young Persons Financial Grant.

Ruth Mansfield and Mari Jones received this award at The Cawdor Hotel, Llandeilo after successfully applying.

Applications were received from young people all over Dyfed (Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire) serving in one of the eleven nominated youth organisations.

The girls have been selected to represent Girlguiding Cymru on international trips later on this year.

Ruth, who is a pupil at Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi will be going to Greece in July and Mari, who is a pupil at Ysgol Preseli will be going to Estonia in August.

On completion of their trips the guides will have to write a report to the High Sheriff about their experiences.

Ruth and Mari with the help of all the Cardigan Guides and their leaders have been busy fundraising throughout the year since being selected.

They will be holding a Greek/ Estonia evening in June and are currently selling tickets to win a weekend away for two in a luxury holiday cottage with its own private hot tub.

If you would like to buy tickets to help fundraise and be in with a chance of winning the luxury weekend break away for two please get in touch with Cardigan Guides who meet every Tuesday at Cardigan Youth Centre, opposite St Mary's Church, Cardigan.

Or contact Sarah 01239 614490 or Lynne 01239 613712.

Tickets are also being sold in Priory Vets, Cardigan.
