County Challenges!

Recognising Leaders’ successes are about having fun, understanding, and reward. Leaders are invited to attend a special day just for them, no training no reason apart from a Well done and a big thank you!

Over the year Leaders, groups and districts will be providing an amazing programme. As a County, we want to recognise this. So, following the County Conference in 2018 and listening to leaders we have created a bit of fun competition, that will run from the 15th February 2019 to 1st November 2019.
