Remembering ICGB 2006

There were 6 of us from GB Malaysia who set out for London from Kuala Lumpur en route to Belfast for ICGB. First time there for all of us ... we were so excited.

There's nothing like the International Brigade Family. It's so wonderful to be One in Christ, forgetting our differences and just bonding because we all love the Girls' Brigade.

Welcome to the ICGB 2010 Blog

Hello Girls' Brigade International,

Rosalind from Girl Brigade Malaysia here. Welcome to my blog.

Being the Communications Chairman of the OrganizingCommittee for the ICGB 2010, I'm pleased to welcome all delegates and touring parties to Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia on 24-31 July 2010 for the International Conference of the Girls' Brigade.

My experience as an officer in GBM is about 30 years and they have been Fantastic years! I have been able to attend several ICGBs over the years : Singapore, Cook Islands, Dublin, Bangkok, Belfast - they've been awesome times! being part of the international GB family.

I hope that through this blog I can share some thoughts with you, also to get you excited about coming to Malaysia next year. Would love to hear from you too.
