David Ruffley has been invited to join the 1st Stowmarket Brownies and Guides at their weekly meeting on Friday, 28 January at 6.00 p.m. at the Guide Hall, Marriott's Walk, Stowmarket. Other Brownie and Guide packs in the town and Stowmarket Trefoil Guild members (adult former Guides) have also been invited to the meeting.

Press and photographers are welcome to attend.

David will talk to the Brownies and Guides about his work as a Member of Parliament and will be happy to answer questions on any topic- local or national- that they want to raise with him.

David said: 'The Brownie and Guide movement provides a wonderful opportunity for young people to learn skills, make a positive contribution to their local community and at the same time have a lot of fun. I welcome the opportunity to visit them at their pack meeting to talk about my work as their local MP and to see if there is any way in which I can be of assistance to them. The Brownie and Guide pack leaders freely give up their time to this excellent cause and I pay tribute to their dedication and commitment to our young people.'
