Conferences and events

Staying out of Jail members event and Annual General Meeting

22 September, 2010
10.00am - 3.15pm
Jephson Housing Group, Blackdown, Leamington Spa, CV32 6RE

As the title suggests, our intention is to focus on issues that can have serious consequences for our organisations should we fail to address them properly. We anticipate that members will want to hear about or be reminded of some of these 'must do' items, so we anticipate a strong turnout on the day. Final details of timings and the running order are being put in place, and an updated and more detailed programme for the day will be sent out next week.
