THE leader of Beer Brownies has issued a last-ditch attempt appealing for volunteers.
If no one comes forward by Christmas the village group, which has been running for 80 years, will be forced to close.
Joan Hansford retired as pack leader more than a year ago but had to take up the post again after the previous leader left.
She is now appealing for people who can take over.
Joan said: "It is such an important year as it's the centenary of Girlguiding UK and if the group closed down the girls would miss out on all the celebrations."
People will receive on-the-job-training and while they are gaining their leader badge, a mentor will be on hand to help them.
