Friends of BGIFC

Friends Gathering 2008

At the end of her term of office, Christine Richards was warmly thanked by Ruth Sara, Commissioner for BGIFC, for all she has done for BGIFC, especially in the last 3 years as Chair of the Friends. Pauline Wainwright has also completed her term of office  and was also thanked for her sterling efforts as Secretary. Anne Saywell was elected as the new Chair. Since the Annual Gathering, Francine Coles has agreed to take on as Secretary. 

Friends were reminded of the invitation to join the Summer Event at Waddow at the Open Day on Monday 28th July.

We were very pleased to welcome Denise King, Chief Executive of Girlguiding UK who spoke enthusiastically about the centenary celebrations in hand for the whole of UK Guiding. We were left sharing her enthusiasm.

As has become our tradition, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Chez Gerard, catching up with old friends and making new ones.
