The Cobar Girl Guides had a training session with the Roosterettes women’s League Tag team last week. Girl Guide leader Louise McKervey said some of the Guides had never played any sport so was a great way to give them some experience and also to meet new women in the community who they can look up to. The Guides have carried their “looking up to women in the community” theme to their community display as part of this year’s Cobar Show. The girls chose local women from the community whom they admire and put their photos into a “garden” display. Among those women who featured were Lilliane Brady OAM, the Cobar Health Service staff, a number of teachers, guides’ mums, former nursing home manager Sharon Huon, dentist Dr Caroline Bowman, artist Seigrid Peters, Cobar Junior League’s Simone Knight and Cobar Weekly’s Sharon Harland. ▪
