GFS WORLD COUNCIL 2023 – SOUTH AFRICA
It once seemed impossible to even think we could be contemplating it, but now GFS South Africa are inviting us to join them for the World council in South Africa from 3 – 11th August in 2023.
You will find below the registration forms and other information needed for World Council 2023.
It is also possible to pay a fee to participate via Zoom for the world council ($750 approximately).
If you are interested please note that you need to pay a deposit by the 11th of November 2022 (this year). Your application needs to be endorsed with the Australian President’s signature (Suzanne Claire) before being sent to South Africa.
Please check with appropriate authorities (DFAT for travel advice and restrictions) as you consider your position. It may also be prudent to check insurance coverage and cancellation policies etc. if you are considering travelling next year. We know things are fluid at the moment but best not to be caught. We were very lucky to have been refunded from the last travel but maybe not so another time!
