The Display was held on Thursday and Friday
evenings and the Guest of Honour on Friday evening was Mrs Helen

a wonderful display and further congratulated them on reaching
this important milestone in the history of the Company.
On Saturday night, members past and present
met for a meal in Dunmurry Golf Club and enjoyed a great evening
of fun and fellowship, sharing many recollections of happy
memories of 40 years of Derryvolgie Parish Girls� Brigade.

an end. The Rector, the Rev. Donna Quigley,
led the service assisted by Jack Hassard - Diocesan
Reader and Mrs Karen Henry - Captain. The guest speaker was
Miss Angie McKee - CEF Youth worker.
