Leaders Thank You Event

London District is delighted to invite all leaders to a special evening aboard the Golden Spirit on Monday 20th July 2026.

The evening is all about thanking the dedicated leaders within The Boys’ Brigade & Girls’ Association in London, who give of their time week in week out. We are so grateful for all they (you) do to support and provide amazing opportunities for children & young people and this event is very much an opportunity to bring those leaders together and say thank you!

Our event will be hosted on M. V. Golden Spirit, which is the newest addition to the Capital Pleasure Boats fleet and is located in central London on the River Thames. The Goldern Spirit boasts 2 decks and a beautiful sundeck to the rear, the spacious saloons have windows that run the length of the boat flooding the interior with light, with seating and tables on the lower deck, all providing ample space to socialise and see all the sights as the boat journeys along the river.

The boat will depart from Temple Pier (see additional location details below) at 7pm, beginning an evening of celebration that includes a sandwich buffet, drinks, a special guest, and a few brief speeches. We will make a scheduled stop back at Temple at 9pm, though the event will continue until 11pm for those who wish to stay on board and enjoy the magnificent sights of London by night. This evening offers a fantastic opportunity to take in the landmarks along the Thames while enjoying the company of fellow leaders from both your own company and others across London District.

An invitation to event is extended to all BB/GA leaders (in London District) and their partners. The cost of the event includes a food buffet and two drinks tokens and is priced at £15 for the alcoholic option or £12 for non-alcoholic drinks. The buffet will comprise sandwiches and other cold savoury items, along with some cakes and sweet treats.
