5. Youth Group Update
Martin's Idea originally; he is not coming to FWG at this stage.
Group aimed at 18 - 25 years where we act as mentors; concerns that 18-25 years is not an age group for a youth group.
There was some concern by some of the submissions from previous interested youth group potentials - style/content issue.
There is interest (Lou and Anna) to have the Youth Group concept with the FWG
Decision - to be discussed at October Meeting in conjunction with year planning; discussion to include future of this idea; further scoping.
6. Contacts List
Phone and Email collected by Lou; to send to Anna.
7. Member suggestions
New idea from Lisa –
FWG produce a children's book as a future project.
To be discussed at the October meeting.
