April 2013 - The Boys' Brigade

Golden Jubilee Celebration – Sunday 11th August 2-6pm
You are invited to Felden Lodge for an afternoon of celebration
and thanksgiving of our shared historical roots and our routes
towards a future together. We will celebrate the 50th anniversary
of GF with a garden party and service of thanksgiving led by
the President of the BB in the UK/RoI, Lord Griffi ths of Burry
Port. There is no cost for this event, but places are limited so
you are encouraged to register early through the GF website
or by emailing adric@globalfellowship.net.
Further information and an application form for each of
the events can be found on the GF website at
www.globalfellowship.net
Can YOU help?
Global Fellowship and BBUK/RoI do not want any young person
to be prohibited from attending the workshop because of
fi nancial hardship.
Could you or your Battalion support a young person’s travel or
accommodation costs? This would make a real difference and
greatly widen the opportunity.
BB UK is also hoping to bring a young leader and three young
people from the Caribbean as a reciprocal visit to our young
leaders attending the Fellowship camp in Tobago last July.
Thanks to all those who have supported this so far.
If you can help, but would like further details, please contact the
Brigade Secretary (steve.dickinson@boys-brigade.org.uk) or
the GF Treasurer, Richard Kyle (treasurer@globalfellowship.net)
New GF staff
As well as being an exciting year in GF’s history, 2013
sees some staffi ng changes at GF. We have a new Chief
Executive Offi cer, Chune Ho-Hip, the former President of
The Boys’ Brigade of South Africa, and for the fi rst time
we have a dedicated Communications Coordinator, Adric
Constantinou-Etheredge, who will ensure our global family
stays connected and GF shares its vision and mission with
others around the world.
