The M.G.V.A. (U.K.) in conjunction with the Stichting Association in Holland will enable members to visit Holland at a subsidised rate in organised groups.

To encourage the formation of branches in the U.K. and at all times foster good relations between the Association and the Dutch people.

To encourage visits between various branches of M.G.V.A. in the U.K. to enable members to renew old comradeships and to make new friends.

To encourage branches to arrange visits to Holland outside the subsidised trips organised by the Stichting. Subsidies for these trips would be considered by the Central Committee on application. Subsidies would also be considered for individuals who are not members of branches but are full members of M.G.V.A. who cannot afford a pilgrimage to Holland.

The Central Committee reserve the right to add to the Objects and Aims as the organisation develops.
