West of England Branch AGM
Every year we have to call a BINDT West of England AGM at which we will constitute a new committee to take us through to the AGM in 2014. The current committee members may stand for re-election but there may also be vacancies to fill. What is important, though, is that we have a good turnout so that the members can vote in the new committee and offer guidance as to the way they would like the Branch to operate.
19.00 start.
Venue: BAWA, 589 Southmead Road, Filton, Bristol BS34 7RG. Tel: 0117 976 80660.
