    1st curry rivel and drayton girl guides will again be having their weekly meeting in the dark. this year, everyone is dressing up in pajamas and we are going to celebrate climate week by making toys out of recyclable materials, playing games and quizzes on an environmental theme and cooking over buddy burners, small cookers made out of corrugated cardboard tightly coiled into a clean tuna fish can or similar and filled with melted wax from old candle stubs. a big catering sized baked bean tin with holes punched through for air vents makes a good burner holder and pan rest. the buddy burner provides a couple of hours heat for cooking.
