Central Council 2012 Committee Update

September 2011

Arrangements for the Central Council visit next year are progressing well and 2012 will soon be here. The programme for Council members is almost fixed and we are now looking for volunteers from the Guild membership to help with the weekend’s events. We have drawn up a list of the various tasks, please sign up now by contacting any of the committee members, so we can be sure that the weekend will be a great success. At the moment the list does not contain a detailed description of the various jobs but you can get more information from any of the committee members. The success of the weekend depends on your help so please volunteer now.
