Circles of Serbian Sisters "Kosovo Maiden" are organising a Memorial Service (Pomen) to commemorate the women in foreign missions in Serbia during the Great War who risked and sacrificed their lives in Serbia and related fronts. Some of them continued to support the Serbs even after the war had ended, most significantly, Lady Paget. Since 2017 marks the centenary Dr Elsie Inglis' death, the commemoration will pay a special tribute to her life.

Guest speaker: Alan Cumming, Scottish Women's Hospital website

On the occasion of The Assumption in 1903 a group of ladies in Belgrade met and decided to form a cultural and humane society. A charter was created for this group, whose aim was to extend as much help to the needy and suffering in Serbia and Macedonia and later, once the group had developed, to help all subjugated Serbs wherever they may be. Branislav Nusic, a renowed Serbian author, suggested that the organisation be called the Circle of Serbian Sisters. The main founders of the group were Nadezda Petrovic, Delfa Ivanic and Savka Subotic. Savka Subotic was the first President of the Circle. Queen Mother Marija later became its patron.

As in previous years, Kolo Serbian Sisters "Kosovka Devojka" has celebrated Serbian New Year's Eve on the 13th January in the "Bishop Nikolay" hall. The evening started with Vespers in our Church.

Our guests were noble firemen from South Wales of the "Blazing to Serbia" group. They are great friends of Serbian people, who for the past 10 years have taken to Serbia a number of fire engines as well as equipment for our firemen. They also helped many other needy people. Here, in our community they are not well known, so this visit was a good opportunity to introduce these valiant golden hearted and generous "knights" who have done so much for our people for so many years.

The Circle of Serbian Sisters "Kosovo Maiden" continues with humanitarian activities by organising a Bake Sale on 25th September at 11.30 in the Bishop Nikolaj Hall, and invites you to make and/or purchase cakes, sweet and salty surprises in traditional Serbian style to help us to continue our charity work.
