From the DG:
** GSE hosts required.
The Philippines team arrives in Wagga on 20/02/11 and flys out of Orange after the annual conference. (April 1-3). I am required to submit their itinerary (including hosts and their addresses, dates, activities, locations, etc.) before 21/01/11. At this stage I know nothing of the team, their details are due with me December 7th.
Would you please make known to your members that the team is coming and that clubs will be asked to host the team. Many clubs have provided this service for many, many years and, I anticipate, will do so once again. They will tell you that it gives the club a lift, gets professional people in the community involved, and can be a stimulus for recruiting new members.
