This is going to be a regular prompt for Branch and Party Council Officers, as to what is coming up and how you might want to put an item on your next meeting agenda. If you have not got a meeting in the time mentioned, you could still let your members know about the item/event.

The main things happening in the next couple of months are, our subscribing Societies hold there half yearly meetings, sometimes called Interim meetings.

We encourage our members to engage with all Co-operative Societies, as it is beneficial to us in terms of policies and information that our elected and aspiring candidates can use to promote the Party. On a personal level it can be rewarding and enjoyable for members to engage with their Society.
