Events for 2007

I went to my first AGM on 8th January 2007 at The Parish Church of St Saviour's St Albans. I met several of the Vergers that had been at the ceremony where my Dad and I were inducted into the Guild. I can only be an associate memeber of the Guild until I am 18. As an assocaite member I couldn't vote, but my Dad still got voted onto the Committee. He is good at that sort of thing.

Every other month or so the Guild members meet up to do some sort of event. We missed the Christmas do in 2006, but I hope to go to some of the other events.

April 16th Corporate Communion All Saints Leighton Buzzard
June 4th-6th Training Conference London Colney
June 21st Alban Supper Sefton Close, St Albans
August 17th Daytime outing Hatfield?
Sept 5th 75th Anniversally Rally St Pauls Cathedral
Dec 13th Pre Christmas Social West Herts College

 

 

The first event that I attended was the corporate communion event at All Saints Chuch in Leighton Buzzard.

12 Virgers and their families attended the event, which was followed by a buffet in the church room. Visit the event page

At the last AGM I was elected the Branch Correspondent. I have started to write articles for the Virger Magazine and the Branch Guild website.
