Winchester and District Branch

This years AGM on Monday the 28^th April 08 is being held as part of our monthly Social Club activities.

It is a way for you to have a better insight of what the club does regularly
and the AGM is the only event where we can report on how the Branch is doing; achieve direct feedback on the needs and wishes of our members.

The formalities therefore have been kept to a minimum but we intend this to be an informative event.

Please join us – but let us know you are coming. A phone call or email will do.

If you want to join our regular – Monthly Monday Social Club or feel you need know more about our fortnightly Tuesday Physiotherapy sessions please let us know.

We also continue to seek better ideas on what we do within the branch – let us have your views?

See you all at the AGM; don’t forget to book your seat NOW.

If you would like to know more about these volunteering roles and positions within the society, understand the workings of the committee, or assist the branch in any way, please contact Bernard or any branch committee member for information.

Free training is available for all pertinent roles.

Please remember we can’t have fun without some hard work, so the tin days and other fundraising events need manning. All help welcome – an hour is all we ask.

Please let us know if you are able to attend so that we get adequate seating correct.

Note: - this venue is fully accessible.

Best regards

Bernard
