Help needed for Regional Day 2019
The Regional Committee are starting to put together the team for Region Day 2019, and there are still some slots for us to fill. Maybe you can take on a role as an individual, or with a group of fellow members, or perhaps a branch could assume responsibility for part of the day and split the work between some of its members. Attached is a brief outline of what we need. |

EMREG AGM September 30, 2018 at Kegworth
Invitation to our AGM to Branch membersBy Deborah Phillpott on Aug 29, 2018 07:44 pmDear Branch Member I write to invite you to attend the Annual General Meeting to be held on Sunday 30th September 2018. We open the doors at 10.30am at Kegworth Village Hall, Nottingham Road, Kegworth, DE74 2FH to start at 11.00am. You will find an agenda and minutes of the 2017 regional AGM on the emreg webpage under Events. We have an executive attending and will be giving us news from head office. It’s always good to put faces to the executive team. I hope to make the day informal but informative and have a talk/training session in the afternoon focussing on Publicity for the Guild. Participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire so that the consultant can tailor the session for our needs. It would help enormously if we know how many people we would be catering for so I ask that you let me know by noting the following form and return the details by email. Very many thanks Deborah "……………………………………………………………………………"……………………………………………………………………………
