Times in brackets may be anticipated but should not be passed. xi GENERAL ASSEMBLY BUSINESS COMMITTEE A Guide to Assembly Procedure 1. Members of Assembly consist of all ministers in active duty or retired and some elders, ex officio, together with a representative elder from each established Congregation plus other elders commissioned by Presbyteries to correspond with the number of ministers serving in special appointments. The Assembly quorum is fifty members. (a) Deaconesses, Licentiates, Presbytery representatives of Presbyterian Women and youth, representatives of SPUD and some others are invited to “sit and deliberate” as associates – i.e., to take part with members freely in debate but without voting. (b) While members should bear in mind any opinions or concerns of their Congregations, Kirk Sessions or Presbyteries, neither ministers nor elders attend as “delegates”, obliged to vote as instructed by any of these. The Assembly should be a gathering of fully responsible, free Christian men and women, always open to spiritual guidance and information on a Church-wide basis, not a device for counting up decisions already made elsewhere. 2. The Moderator is chairman of the Assembly, in charge of proceedings, but should not take sides in debates. Former Moderators may deputise from time to time, should the Moderator wish to take part in debate or to withdraw from the House. (a) When the Moderator rises to speak at any point all other members must yield to the Chair. (b) Members should stand when the Moderator enters or leaves at the beginning or end of proceedings. Members may enter or leave at any time during proceedings, but should do so with as little disturbance as possible. It is a courtesy in so doing to give a slight bow to the Chair. (c) The recommended form of address to the House is simply “Moderator” (not “Mr.” Moderator, etc). Speakers should face towards the House and the microphones, not towards the Moderator. xii 3. Councils & Commissions: Work for which the Assembly is responsible is generally entrusted to various General Assembly Councils and Commissions. These must each present a report to the Assembly. Councils normally have a number of General Assembly Committees working under them, along with permanent Panels and ad-hoc Task Groups. A Commission of Assembly is entrusted with the executive powers of the Assembly, within the terms of its appointment. Members of Commissions, Councils and General Assembly Committees are appointed by the Assembly itself, on the nomination of the General Assembly’s Nominations Committee. Councils and Commissions are led by a Convener, supported by a Secretary, with the latter often being a senior member of staff. 4. Reports of Councils: While the Assembly is obliged to “receive” the report of each Council, it does not “adopt” or accept responsibility for the contents of any report. Reports carry only the authority of the Council concerned and not of the Assembly. (a) If found too unsatisfactory the report, or a section of it, may be received and referred back. This is done by an amendment to the resolution “That the report of the [name of Council] be received”. Any matter to which the Assembly is to be committed must be stated in a specific resolution. Resolutions should be kept to conclusions, rather than include arguments in support such as are appropriate to reports and speeches. Similarly, speeches in the Assembly carry the authority only of the speaker. (b) Reports are first of all “presented” and the appended resolutions “proposed” en bloc, usually by a Council Convener who will make a speech in support highlighting aspects of the Council’s work. The resolutions are then “seconded” en bloc, usually by another officer of the Council, who again speaks in support and usually addresses a different aspect of the Council’s work. There is then an opportunity for questions to be asked. 5. Questions to Councils: These should quite strictly be asked only for further information or explanation, whether of something in the report or not in the report but for which the Council carries responsibility; they should not be rhetorical or xiii debating “questions”, to score a point.

  • Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark
    Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark Mourne Gullion Strangford, UK Geographical and geological summary 1. Physical and human geography The Mourne Gullion Strangford Aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark (aUGGp) is midway between the cities of Belfast (UK) and Dublin (Republic of Ireland) and is located on the main road and rail network that connects the two. Belfast has a population of 340,220 people whilst Dublin has a population of 1,346,359 people. The main city is Newry that is within 1-hour travelling time of two international airports (Dublin and Belfast International), one regional airport (George Best Belfast City), and two international passenger ferry ports (Warrenpoint and Dublin). The Mourne Gullion Strangford aUGGp is located in the SE of Northern Ireland, adjacent to the border with the Republic of Ireland. The aUGGp has an area of 960 sq km, and a population of 100,322. The mean population density is 106.62 people per sq km but this ranges from the sparsely populated upland areas to the urban centres of Newry, Downpatrick, Newcastle and Kilkeel. The region boasts 3 discrete upland regions in the Dromara Hills, Mourne Mountains, and Slieve Gullion. The highest point is within the Mourne Mountains and is Slieve Donard at 850 m. The uplands are surrounded by lowlands covered in glacial sediment, much of which is in the form of drumlins. The mountains are dissected by valleys formed by ice during the last glaciation. Carlingford Lough, a drowned glacial valley, lies on the southern edge of the proposed Geopark, and Strangford Lough, the largest sea inlet in the UK and Ireland, lies at the eastern edge of the proposed Geopark, both of which are important to the early human history of the region and later as major transport routes.

A programme of events including a Civic Reception at City Hall to mark the 125th Anniversary of The Boys Brigade in Ireland, the Annual General Meeting of The Boys' Brigade and a Sunday morning service is being organised. As this is the AGM of the Brigade I trust East Antrim Battalion will be well represented. I will be there so if you wish to record a vote you can do so via proxy. The Battalion has continued to function with less meetings but hopefully still communicating with officers via the website, quarterly newsletters and facebook. If you don’t receive this information like us on facebook and register your e-mail on the website. Please remember we still hold two meeting per session and you can find the dates below. The website continues to be our main communication tool and we have had over 1,000,000 hits in last year and averaging 2000 visitors a month. Please make sure you keep up to date by visiting the site regularly and if you are involved with competitions or events please email a report to [email protected] so that the site is kept up to date. In April we held a very successful quiz evening in Ballynure and that event replaced our AGM.
