The
centennial GSE 2004-05
of R.I.Dist.3060 to England
& Wales in the UK
was a great success. The
moment we got off the
plane and met GSE Chair
Mervyn, DG. Colin, TRF
Chair Colin & Area
Coordinator David, we
could feel the warmth
of welcome and anticipate
what we were going to
get in this part of the
world.
D1180 is a unique District,
which consists of north
of England & Wales.
England & Wales have
totally different cultures,
languages. We were fortunate
to enjoy natural beauty
& two cultures in
one trip!! |

During the GSE, our D1180 hosts
introduced to the highest forms
of English & Wales art and
culture, through nationally
renowned experts in their fields.
Our itinerary was full of cultural
& vocational visits and
once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
In addition to formal meetings
with the mayors of Chester &
lady Mayor of Borough of Wirral,
we met numerous local political,
business, education, and cultural
leaders. We got behind-the-scenes
tours of major businesses and
factories, government facilities,
schools, museums, ports, power
plants, mines, gardens, castles,
construction sites, and recycling
facilities and vocational visits.
I have taken total 3200 photographs
in 35 days. We have strictly
followed 6-7-8 formula, i.e.
get up at 6 am, breakfast at
7 am, 8am to go. No day ended
before 12 midnight!!!
