wow! what a festival! It was fantastic to see so many of you there with youth, performing or serving on crew. I spotted folk from Mt Eden PIC, Mangere PIC, St Heliers, St Columba, & St John's Mt Roskill as well as some from Kaimai, South Auckland, & Wellington Presbyteries. I know that heaps more of you were there amongst the thousands!!! I truly enjoyed Parachute's Got Talent, Late 80's Mercedes and the Birthday celebrations on Saturday night. What were your highlights from 2010?

I've been busy re-organising the website over the last few days - getting it ready for the new year! Our fantastic webmaster Geoff made us a really great site, so I'm really enjoying adding and organising the content. He's just turned the photo gallery on, so I will start adding pics from events over the last few years. Email me any pics you would like included from past YCF gatherings and I'll add them to the gallery!

hi everyone

It looks like blogging is taking off across the online world with many websites using it as the preferred way to regularly update their pages. As you can see we've overhauled the webiste with new content, tidied up the order of information on some of the pages and have added this new blog page. So we're going to try going blog-style for the YCF newsletter this year. Last year we sent information out via email as it arrived and that will still happen, but because of the blog page, it will be stored simultaneously in one place for you to refer back to as needed.
