UNiFORMeD YOUTH ORgANiSATiONS

After a well earned summer break both GFS & BBs are raring to go for their next sessions.

GFS:There are 2 branches in the Dioceses, Kilmoremoy (held in St Michael’s School in Ballina, every Friday evening) and Achonry (held in the Coach House, Rathbarron, every Friday evening), where girls of all ages, from 5 years, right through to teenagers meet to do craft, play games, learn skills like fi rst aid, do badge work, anything from caring
for the environment to Bible study and much, much more. The focus before Christmas is on the craft competitions, done locally and then the winners are entered into a national competition. To find out more information or details of how to join contact:

Sinead Murray (Kilmoremoy) on 086 3194749

or

Betty Price (Achonry) on 071 9130773.

BB: We only have one company for the Diocese, 1st Achonry Company, which meets every Friday evening in Ballinacarrow for boys from 6 years. During these sessions,
the boys learn how to work and think as a team, as well as individuals, and points are awarded for team uniform and behaviour, as well as the games and various activities held
for the teams throughout the year, and trophies are given at the end of the year, for the overall winning team. Alongside these activities, craft, cookery, learning and honing skills,
badge work centring on the world we live in, caring for others, God’s world and much more, are the core of the weekly meetings. Joining in worship and fun days, with
other companies in the Northern Region, also is very much a part of the programme.

For more information on details of how to join contact Canon Kathy, on 071 9133948.
