AGM 2008
After the training day 20 brave persons remained for our AGM on Saturday 3rd May 2008 at Perth Free Church. Donald Matheson delivered a report summarising our activities over the previous year. Philip Brown also spoke about our finances.
Thanks to all who took part in (and catered for) the training day.
Please note the revised dates for the Hejce and Tivador camps.
Wedding Bells
Friday 4th April 2008 was a notable day in the EEFC calendar as it marked the marriage of our Camps Coordinator Andrew Burrows to Éva Suci in Dumfries Free Church. The service was conducted by Rev Levente Horvath, assisted by the groom`s father Rev Bruce Burrows and Rev Marcus McCullough a regular leader of our camps for many years. The very moving ceremony was attended by an international gathering of families and friends who then enjoyed a sumptuous meal in the Troqueer Church Hall. EEFCers will be interested to know that Andrew and Éva met at our Mahanaim Camp a few years ago. We wish the new couple God`s richest blessing in their life together.

Ryanair's New Routes to Budapest
Philip was pointing out that Ryanair have announced a new route from Glasgow Prestwick to Budapest which starts in November 2007. They are planning three flights per week. This is excellent news for EEFCers flying from Scotland to Hungary or Hungarians who want to visit Scotland. They have also announced four flights per week to Budapest from Liverpool's John Lennon airport. This should mean our leaders from the north of England have some extra options. Leaders from Northern Ireland might also like to note there are new daily flights to Prestwick and Liverpool from Belfast City airport, which start around the same time as the new Hungarian routes open up. Details of Ryanair's plans can be found here.
DVD Easter Eggs
There are 3 “Easter Eggs” on the EEFC DVDs. Details of how to find these extra hidden gems can be found here .
AGM 2007
The EEFC AGM 2007 took place on Friday 11th May at Perth Free Church.
You can read the chairman's report from Donald Matheson and the camps report from Andrew Burrows.
In particular we would like to thank Mario Dani Nagy for coming over to be our guest speaker. It seemed that everyone present was very encouraged by Mario and we ask God's blessing on him and his colleagues as they prepare for the camp in Hódmezövásárhely.
Second Hejce Camp
This year for the first time there will be two Hejce camps, running one after the other, see the camps pages for details
