Guild Week 2005
 |
This annual initiative, which began
in 2004, aims to encourage all members to promote
the Guild's work - both locally and nationally.
Local groups are invited to plan events or other
activities in their areas and communities. |
This initiative will be built on in the coming years to
provide an essential resource library for events across
the country to help celebrate this important event in
the Guild calendar. You can access our range of Guild
Week material on our dedicated extranet site for staff,
office bearers, those in the ministries and our members.
