Girl Guides faced a giant-sized problem when they volunteered to wash a double-decker bus
Girl Guides faced a giant-sized problem when they volunteered to wash a double-decker bus to raise money for disabled children. Members of the 27th St Albans company in Stratford Street, Stoke, Coventry, were taking part in a sponsored car wash fortnight organised by the Childrens Society. There are prizes for the most unusual vehicle washed and the Coventry Motor Museum agreed to let them tackle a 1963 Daimler bus. Armed with sponges, clothes and chamois leathers, the girls had to use mobile scaffolding and hoses to reach the top of the bus, but they did a sterling job and it was soon looking spick and span. They will be in action again tomorrow at the Ring Road Garage in Tower Street, Coventry, where they will be washing customers cars.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the Girl Guides of the 27th St Albans company in Stratford Street, Stoke, Coventry facing a giant-sized problem with unwavering determination. These young girls volunteered to wash a double-decker bus as part of their noble efforts to raise funds for disabled children. Organized by the Children's Society, this sponsored car wash fortnight aimed to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. The Coventry Motor Museum graciously allowed these spirited Girl Guides to tackle a vintage 1963 Daimler bus, adding an exciting twist to their fundraising venture. Equipped with sponges, clothes, and chamois leathers, these remarkable girls fearlessly climbed mobile scaffolding and wielded hoses to reach every nook and cranny of this towering vehicle. Their hard work paid off beautifully as they transformed the once dusty bus into a shining spectacle. The pride on their faces is evident as they stand beside their sparkling achievement - proof that even seemingly insurmountable challenges can be conquered when hearts are filled with compassion. Tomorrow brings another opportunity for these dedicated Girl Guides at Ring Road Garage in Tower Street where they will continue washing customers' cars. Their commitment serves as an inspiration for us all; reminding us that through unity and selflessness, we can create positive change within our communities. This heartwarming snapshot from August 1st, 1985 captures not only the essence of charity and fundraising but also showcases the indom
