Carol Smith (now Willis) Susan Grinham (now Malpas) Joanne Putnam (now Dolby) Caroline Miles (now Allison) and Rosemary Archer (now Walker) met up to reminise about their time as Moulton Guides at a special afternoon tea in village’s Cafe@.
All the women have stayed in touch with each other over the years and now use social media to keep up-to-date with Carol who lives in Germany.
Pennie Jones (now Crow) also received her award earlier in the year and also attended the celebration.
