Gilmore Youth Leadership Forum 2008

Just a quick word of thanks to everyone who particpated in this year's Gilmore Youth Leadership Forum.

It was a one event I did not want to miss but I have had some great feedback and the pictures are great.

I, particualrly, want to thank all the stduents who took part. It is an event that crosses the age barrier but at its heart are the young people of our community and without their support and keen participation it would not exist.

This year's event was again at the Waterslea Conference Centre, which really is one of the jewels in our region's crown. I encourage everyone who has not seen the facility at West Cambewarra to take some time and do so, it is a beautiful facility.

Thanks again to our speakers: Shanaka Fernando, Don Woodland, Tania Hayes, Paula Smith, Mark Ettridge and Anthony Bonnici and to all the leaders, all volunteers, all the sponsors and all the Waterslea staff who assisted.

Again, I thanks to Andrew Guile from the Nowra Anglican College for volunteering his time to run the program.
