Travelling and Meeting Catenians

Are you planning on a holiday? If so, why not combine it with a visit to another Circle, another Province or maybe a National Conference? In 2025, there will be an Australian Conference in Sydney in October and the GBNC will be having a conference in May. There is normally a Jersey weekend in October and a Malta week in November each year. Apart from these major events there are Provincial weekends and Circle meetings and social events. Check your diaries and the event calendar and email relevant person before you travel.

If you are travelling to England in May 2025, the Great Britain National Council (GBNC) is holding their National Gathering and Conference in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, from 16-18 May 2025. Province 6 along with their Director and incoming GBNC President Gerry McCormack and his wife Anna, welcome you to the weekend in Warwickshire. Accommodation and most events are at the Chesford Grange Hotel.

• Friday morning is the golf tournament
• Friday evening is a joint Circles meeting (City of Coventry, Kenilworth and Leamington Spa Circles) and dinner
• Saturday is the actual conference with David Wells as the keynote speaker
• Saturday evening is the Gala Dinner with Entertainment
• Sunday Mass is at 11:15am at St Francis of Assisi Church with Bishop Timothy Menezes SLL followed by the Farewell lunch

More information can be found here on the GBNC website. Please register to attend the conference weekend and book your tickets at the same time as you book your hotel accommodation by using the online Ticket Application Form. Bookings will close on 20 April 2025. Pre-booking is required for entry to all functions/events – including the three Circles Meeting, Conference Meeting and Mass. This could be a chance to combine a holiday with meeting Catenians.
