As before, we warmly invite members to deliver short presentations on work they have been doing in their areas. This session has regularly returned very positive evaluations and so we will extend it this year to allow more time for questions and discussion. If you have something you would like to share this year - please email Margaret Gibbs with some details (m.gibbs@stchristophers.org.uk)
The final part of the day will comprise the AGM during which we will be holding elections for a new committee. Members will soon be receiving an email to describe the posts currently in place and the election process.
We look forward to seeing you there
