South East regional training event

On the weekend of 15th to 17th May the South East Regional Committee organised a training camp for new leaders and DFs at Bexhill.

There were about 60 participants including 18 members of DUI, our sister organisation in Denmark. Districts represented were: Brighthelmstone, Eastbourne, Hastings, Kennington, Knaphill, Spelthorne, Walton, Southampton and Portsmouth.

The weekend included sessions on KPing, WF new youth leader training programme, an introduction to the WF, playing games, carving tent pegs, putting up yurts and tentipis and learning a little about DUI.

Rose Mitchell- the new regional worker came to visit on Saturday night, as did the WF Chair- Danny Rowe.

The feedback has been entirely positive and the DFs and new leaders felt connected to the wider movement by meeting people from other districts. Feedback certainly indicated that members want more such events. The Regional Committee will be looking into the possibility.
