We held our AGM on 25th February 2008 and reported another active year for the Branch. Our Membership numbers remain steady so we must be doing something right.
Last year we tried to accommodate all levels of Branch Members by arranging a Revision Day in May, a Seminar with CPD points in August as well as many social events including a night at the Hawaiian Club, Cardiff and our highlight of the year, the Graduation Ceremony and Annual Ball in October 2008.
We hope to run similar events this year and arrangements are already underway for the Revision Day which will be run in conjunction with Coleg Glan Hafren.
At the AGM Committee appointments were confirmed as follows:
|
Branch Chairman |
Frances Edwards (Caswell Jones, Caerphilly) |
|
Vice Chairman |
Kevin McCarthy (Hugh James, Merthyr Tydfil) |
|
Secretary |

|
Committee members |

The Minutes of the AGM can be obtained by request.
Although the Branch is self-funding, we remain reasonably lucrative and therefore we are able to keep the Membership fees the same as last year:
Students - £5.00
Members - £10.00
Fellows - £15.00
NB. Membership is now due for renewal and Membership Forms can be obtained by request.
Future events are as follows:
April 2008 – Revision Day for Level 3 and Level 6 at Coleg Glan Hafren
May 2008 – Meeting and Drinks evening
June 2008 – CPD Seminar – Stress and stress management
July 2008 – Summer Party at Hasapiko Greek Restaurant, Cardiff
October 2008 – Annual Ball
December 2008 – Meeting and Xmas drinks.
These events will proceed subject to interest.
