Accommodation has been booked at Canterbury Youth Hostel for seven nights. The group will visit the conference, interact with the bishops, run a youth stall in the 'marketplace' and run a youth-oriented Labyrinth, as well as sightsee in Canterbury and take part in group worship and activities. The total cost of the trip (seven nights ccommodation, breakfast and dinner) is £100 per person. Lunch each day and transport to Canterbury will be the individual's own responsibility. This initial email is being sent to those who have registered their interest in attending, or are in a position to pass this information on to others within their diocese. If you wish to attend, please email <mailto:s.tomlinson@src.gla.ac.uk> s.tomlinson@src.gla.ac.uk. Places will be given on a first-come-first-served basis with a deadline of March 20th. This Lambeth conference will be an exciting event, and I look forward to having a strong PYN input. Sarah Tomlinson Latest News Youth Report for 2007Once again there have been a number of events organised and run by the Diocesan Youth Committee. The first was a “weekend in the mountains” this was held at Nethybridge in June, the theme for the weekend was Creation and during the event we climbed Meall a Beuchille, walked in the Nethy woods and composed a series of songs to relate the highpoints of the weekend. The Sunday Eucharist took place in the outdoor centre, with the prayers and readings organised by the young people. We hosted a provincial youth event in Elgin over the weekend of Bishop Mark’s consecration; young people came from all over Scotland. They attended the service in Inverness, singing at the end of the communion. This was followed by a lively Ceilidh in Elgin and they joined the congregation of Holy Trinity Elgin for the Sunday service. The summer means Glenalmond and once again we had a good representation from the diocese on both weeks, we also had a number of the “Young Leaders” on the training programme from this diocese. The now traditional Torridon Retreat took place in November. We took over the Youth Hostel and looked at the issue of overseas mission and the way we share the resources of the planet. We all prepared music and drama to illustrate this theme. The highlight, as it is every year, was the beach clean and scramble at Red Point. On the Sunday morning we joined the congregation at Courthill Chapel, Kishorn where we sang and led the prayers. Bishop Mark on his travels around the Diocese is making contact with more young people who we hope to bring into the life of the Diocesan Youth Group, so if you want to hear more then hand your details to Sue Piper or contact her via the diocesan Website.
