Fusion...what's that?

It all starts by taking a look in the Ways to Celebrate brochure that came with this month's edition of Guiding magazine. In amongst all those fantastic events and projects for the Centenary you'll notice something called Fusion. Fusion is the large celebratory event for the Centenary and 30,000 lucky members will experience a day like no other at Harewood House near Leeds on Wednesday 4th August 2010. Think Glastonbury (but hopefully without the rain and the mud) and you're getting there. Harewood House has beautiful large grounds and GGUK has secured sole use of the grounds for that day. No members of the public other than us, which gives us the freedom to really celebrate in style. If you look at the pictures in Ways to Celebrate you'll see that it's a huge participative arts event. Everything from dance to street theatre, jugglers, fire eaters, performance hairdressers (what?!) music stages and lots of other crazy things. It's all out of doors in the open air and there will be a bit of walking between the performance spaces but it will be up to you on the day how you spend your time. There will be hundreds of simultaneous things going on and you and the girls can just wander about from area to area or follow one performer round all day or just set yourself up in one of the areas and stay there all day. It's up to you really, but one thing is clear; there will be 30,000 different stories on the bus home and you'll have a day to remember. It will be a case of, 'I was there'! Go on, make sure you're going to be there!
