GFS World Council is held every three years in countries around the world where GFS is in operation. The last council was hosted by our very own Wales, this year Australia have the honour of hosting the event in July 2017.
The World Council was established so that member countries can work together more closely to promote friendship between members of the society around the world, to plan the work of the society and celebrate the fellowship of GFS.
