🚨 ALL MEMBERS 🚨 are invited to our fast approaching AGM.
You don't have to:
🖊 be a rep or a workplace contact to come
📞you don't have to have called us up before
🗨 asked for help before
👫 know anyone else coming
✋ you won't have to volunteer for anything
ALL members are welcome and we'd love to see you there.

It's the most important meeting of the year at which members can help shape both the rules and the direction of the branch. It’s also an opportunity to meet your branch officers and get more involved in your union, even if that's just putting your hand up in the meeting or asking a question.

Wednesday 11th March (members can attend either in-person or online)
Monday 16th March (online - morning)
Tuesday 17th March (online - afternoon)

Refreshments will be provided on the Wednesday and branch members can claim for cost of travel.
