Remembrance Service Saturday 7th November
This Saturday at 14:30, the usual time of our National Remembrance Service, the CLCGB National Remembrance Service Video will be made available.
The Act of Remembrance was filmed at the National Memorial Arboretum a few weeks ago, and Bishop Peter Eagles, our Bishop Visitor, has recorded a video address. The video includes CLCGB Governor Andrew Hayday laying the wreath at the Brigade Memorial Garden, and members of CLCGB Companies who have contributed readings and prayers. The music was recorded by CLCGB Band members.
Through the hard work of those who gave up their time to make this video, we have been able to provide a dignified way of marking Remembrance in what continues to be a difficult year for all of us.
It would be great if CLCGB members, and friends of the CLCGB, were able to watch this video together on Saturday afternoon and to join in with the prayers and the Two Minutes Silence.

Announcement: New Governor Appointed
I do hope you are all keeping safe during these very uncertain and often stressful times; particularly so when we begin to move towards a ‘new normal’!
I have written to all members to advise them that I have been appointed as the new Governor of the National CLCGB, in place of Liz Butterfield. She is stepping down from this position with immediate effect for health reasons. Liz has been appointed as Deputy Governor and will continue to support the CLCGB in every way possible.
I would like to offer my sincere thanks and heartfelt gratitude to Liz for all her dedication, time and support during her tenure as Governor and for many years before that. Liz has provided outstanding leadership through some very challenging times and has had to manage some very difficult decisions. She has proven to be an extremely popular and recognisable figurehead and she will be greatly missed in this key position within our organisation.
I attended my first camp in 1976 and have fully experienced what the CLCGB can offer. I want to support all Companies in offering this to many more young people, positively influencing lives for generations to come.
I would like to end by thanking Liz once again for all of her dedication, commitment and friendship. I am proud to follow in her footsteps.
Kind Regards
Andrew Hayday
Governor
