24 Outward Bounders attended with their parents and relatives and met with committee members, Outward Bound members and local VIPs. There was great excitement amongst the young people when guest of honour Scotland International Rugby hero Ross Beatie arrived to present the certificates.Ross who has been engaged by Nice rugby club met the young people and chatted to them about the challenges they had faced on their Outward Bound courses. In his speech he said that he had been blessed by having a supportive family to help him through the tough times but he said he would have really appreciated having an organisation like Outward Bound to give him a good grounding in how to increase your self esteem and reach your full potential.
Judy receives a donation from the IOD on behalf of Outward Bound Monaco
In her capacity as General Secretary of Outward Bound Monaco, Judy was delighted to attend the pre Christmas lunch of the Monaco branch of the IOD held at the Saint BĂȘnoit restaurant in Monaco and receive a cheque for 4000 euros on behalf of Outward Bound Monaco.
Said Judy; “It was a wonderful initiative on behalf of the IOD, that this year, instead of engaging a speaker for the lunch, they chose to make a charitable donation. Their members are at the very heart of the mechanics of the current economy and know only too well how hard businesses and charities alike have been hit. This will enable Outward Bound to continue its mission to help young people reach their full potential both locally and in the UK in what are very challenging times.”
