British Graduates Society
The British Graduates Society of Papua New Guinea has been active since 2006. In July 2008 the Society was fully incorporated and registered with the IPA. The Patron of the Society is currently His Excellency David Dunn, British High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea.
The society is currently actively seeking new members. To be eligible as a member a person must have studied at a UK institution and pay a membership fee of K100 per annum. A person may also become an associate member if they are a spouse, partner or nominated person of a full member. Associate members must pay a K50 fee per annum.
Some of the objectives of the society are currently;
- to establish and maintain means of communication between members of the BGSPNG and their institutions through the British High Commission and Alumni Societies;
- to foster relations between the United Kingdom and Papua New Guinea;
- to support and promote the principles of membership for all former students who have studied in the United Kingdom;
- to sponsor and promote educational, social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities among members of the BGSPNG and their families;
- to promote and maintain for members of the BGSPNG a common meeting place and a social centre over the long term and to network with similar entities or organisations;
