Groups

HCPT is organised through hundreds of groups, each one of a manageable size, so that helpers and young people can get to know each other well, and not be lost among the thousands of the entire pilgrimage. The Manchester Region currently has five groups, each consisting of a leader, nurse, chaplain, helpers and up to a dozen young people.

Group Number Colours Hotel
5 (New for 2006) Purple and Aqua Ariane
44 Sky Blue and White Mediterranee
54 Green and Sky Blue Paradis
81 Red and White St George
157 Maroon and Cream Mediterranee
216 Royal Blue and Gold Albion

Each group is based in a Hotel, and has its own distinctive 'uniform' with coloured hats, scarves and/or sweatshirts, so that it is easy to recognise each other and keep together. Each helper or child wears a name badge. Click on the number links to see some photographs.
