Thank you

An army of staff and volunteers from WAGGGS and the Hong Kong Girl Guides made the Conference happen. Thank you to all of you for your wide-ranging contributions which ensured a complex event ran smoothly and delegates had a fantastic experience.

Among those who the UK delegation would particularly like to thank are:

• World Bureau staff and members of the World Board, chaired by Nadine El Achy over the past triennium, who have spent many months steering preparations for the Conference and at the event worked hard behind-the-scenes, as well as in the spotlight, to make it such a success.

• Girls and leaders of the Hong Kong Girl Guides who were excellent hosts.

• The team of volunteers who played key roles supporting the operations of the Conference, working into the early hours each night. Among them were two Girlguiding UK members.
  
  
  
  Jessica Dabbs, as the Teller and a member of the Procedural Team, kept the business of the Conference on track. Here she is explaining the voting procedures to delegates.
  
  
  
  
  Jo Whytock (on the left below) led the team of volunteer interpreters, helping delegates to cross language barriers. 

• Girlguiding staff and volunteers who supported the delegation in their preparations. Girlguiding Administrator Amice Beaumont deserves special thanks for helping us with travel plans and getting us out to Hong Kong with the right kit (taxi for the international evening included!).

The World Conference was a huge team effort - hats off to all involved and I hope you're enjoying a well-earned rest.
