We are holding our 2014 AGM at the Spot Conference Centre in Sacheveral Street, Derby DE1 2JR on Friday 7 February 2014.

The meeting will commence at 7.00 pm and a free buffet will be available from 8.00 pm.

Last year’s less formal meeting worked really well and partners are welcome after 8.00 pm to take part in the social event including a quiz and disco until late.

You will receive a complimentary drink voucher and a ticket for a free raffle draw (there will be a number of prizes up for grabs!) in the post.  So look out for the letter and remember to bring the drinks voucher and raffle ticket with you on the night.

Please note you must be present at the AGM in order to be eligible for a prize.

The meeting will also provide you with the opportunity to meet Branch Officers, Workplace Stewards and other UNISON Members and to put forward your views on the organisation of the Branch.

Speakers for the meeting are to be confirmed.  Full documentation including agenda will be available at the meeting.

Please try your best to attend. The AGM is the most important date in the Branch’s calendar.  The formal business aspect and the social aspect are both equally important. It’s YOUR union! Have YOUR say!
