World Schools Incorporation

From WSDC Mailing list
Dear World Schools community,

I received today a certificate from Cardiff that reads as follows:

“Certificate of Incorporation of a Private Limited Company

Company No. 6666449

The Registrar of Companies for England and Wales hereby certifies that

THE WORLD SCHOOLS DEBATING CHAMPIONSHIPS LIMITED

Is this day incorporated under the Companies Act 1985 as a private company and that the company is limited.

Given at Companies House on 6th August 2008”

This means that one important phase of the journey towards making World Schools a charity is complete. There will be much more information regarding the consequences of this, and the next steps, to follow, but for now I would like to thank the members of the incorporation working group and in particular Nick Pacheco (Team Bermuda, 1995) for his support in a personal capacity and as a solicitor practising in England and Wales. Without his generously given advice and input we would not have been able to get this far.
