AGM Tuesday 21 November 2017
I am really pleased to invite you along to our Annual General Meeting taking place at the end of next month. As has been the case the last few years, due to tight budgets we will be holding a fairly low key event. I will be doing a presentation about the work we have been doing – it’s been an interesting year so I hope you will enjoy it. I am also hoping to run a short exercise with members – based around our key values as an organisation. I think it is important for us to keep reviewing our aims and objectives to ensure we don’t get ‘mission drift’. Enclosed with this letter should be the following:
