KGVI 2016

Monday 21st November 2016

KGVI took place from Saturday 22^nd – Friday 28^th July 2016. Thirteen first year and eighteen second year cadets attended the training led by a team of volunteer tutors: Richard Clarke, David Doggart, Rebekah McLean, Andrew Paul, Cynthia Thompson, Matthew Gallick and Rev Dessie Paul. We are very grateful for all who gave up their week to lead and take part in KGVI.

Tom Baird (pictured ready to bat) from 1^st Legacurry sums up his experiences of KGVI:

Having recently completed my second year of KGVI, I can only praise the programme, and the confidence I have gained since is growing. KGVI was a fantastic opportunity to share with other young leaders from across Northern Ireland in our faith, through daily devotions, and in our ideas and experiences from each of our sections and Companies. After the first year I learnt a lot about youth leadership and what was involved in being a leader and so I felt equipped for the next year, to put what I had learnt into practice.

Over the course of the year my confidence grew and it was an absolute pleasure to meet up with my fellow cadets for our second year. The second year will probably hold my best memories of KGVI as we each had so much fun in delivering our demonstrations! KGVI is definitely a training programme worth going on, it’s an incredibly rewarding course and you will make friends for life through the fellowship of the week.
