IT was a pleasure today to be guest speaker at the Stockton Trefoil Guild - and to come across what may well be a record.

The organisation, which marks its 60th anniversary next year, was established for anyone involved in the Guiding movement.

The Stockton guild has three members - Olga Elliot and her twin sister Avril Scott, and Marjorie Jakobson - who have been in the movement for a minimum of 80 years.

They joined as brownies and never left. Now, that's a lot of brownie points.
