Leaders Conference

For leaders from all the programme sections.  To be held in Killykeen Forest Park, Killeshandra, Co. Cavan. on 2nd & 3rd March, 2001.   Join with other leaders from your unit or apply yourself.   The cost is 65 euro each with a depost of 25 euro.   The closing date has passed but there are still a few places left.   Your unit leader should have an application form or you can get one from HQ.    Your unit might even be able to subsidise you as this conference is designed to be of benefit to you as a leader. You can also stay Friday night if you wish at no extra cost.

Leaders Challenge

There are still some places left on the Leaders Challenge - but you need to be quick!.   This challenging expedition takes place in Spain from 26th July to 10th August and costs just euro 605.00.  You need to be a leader in any section, over the age of 18 years, a partner of the same sex, the enthusiasm to take up the challenges set out for you and a euro 130 deposit each to reach HQ as soon as is humanly possible.    The closing date for this has passed also but if you get in quickly you may still make it.    This is a challenge not to be missed and anyone who puts there mind to it will be well able for it.  Details of last years will follow in the next issue of event.
