Joy was leaving the group after 20 years and old and new brownies joined the party at Hogsthorpe Village Hall to wish her a happy retirement.

Josie Johnson, from the group, said: “She has just been a great person for the last 20 years and she has done everything that a brown owl could do, including trips and activities.”
