A HIGH school business manager has been awarded a 20 year long service badge for her services to the Guide Association.

Before moving to Cheshire, Irene Eagleton, business manager at Bishop Heber High School in Malpas, was involved with the Guides in Cheltenham and Swindon.

She now works with 1st Tilston Guides, many of whom are students at Bishop Heber.

Over the years Irene says she has seen many changes in the Guide Association.

She believes the Guides offer a great opportunity for girls to experience a wide range of activities and take part in challenging events.
