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.

People will receive on-the-job-training and while they are gaining their leader badge, a mentor will be on hand to help them.
