Heritage Sector in the Cultural Olympiad 2008-2012, under the title of ‘Access all Areas’. Heritage organisations are being invited to submit new projects for inclusion in the Cultural Olympiad programme, but they must be innovative, welcoming and, in particular, focus on youth and if they fulfil these criteria, they may be awarded with the Olympic ‘Inspired By’ symbol. Plans for this year’s Heritage Day are now well in hand and we are about to compile the programme.
Around 300 participants from teams all over the UK took part in the first Phoenix Nationwide Multi-Venue Quiz. The event, which took place in private houses, raised around £4000 for B’nai B’rith food and medicine care projects in the Ukraine and the B’nai B’rith Youth Organisation leadership programme. With an age profile which ranged from teenagers to over-seventies and attracted teams from Bournemouth to Leeds, the event was conducted on the Internet from a ‘Quiz HQ’ sited in Stanmore. The Phoenix group comprises a group of former BBYO and BB Youth Association members who recently became affiliated to B’nai B’rith UK and are masterminding a series of exciting and varied social events throughout the year. Their activities are helping BBUK to add another facet to their national activities. If you would like further details about the Phoenix group contact Gerry Inow on

Lodges existed in 50 countries with 200 in the U S A and was constantly re-inventing itself to meet changing conditions, he told a packed audience.. BBI was working with other communal organisations for humanitarian purposes and he looked towards a future of activism for Israel and in Europe, and as associates rather than through lodges.
