MAG Annual Group Conference 2008 – West Midlands
Each April MAG holds an Annual Group Conference (AGC), at which any member is entitled to turn up, have their say on policy, and elect the relevant officers of the group, as well as helping decide on the actions of MAG in the coming year.
The AGC moves from region to region each year, so as to allow as many members as possible to attend with a minimum of inconvenience.
The AGC moves back Bromsgrove for 2008 and will be hosted by the West Midlands Region.
The AGC venue is at the, The Spadesbourne Suite, Burcot Lane, Bromsgrove, B60 1AA, Worcestershire (same venue as 2006) on 26th April 2008.
The evening venue is the same as the Heart of England rally site. The Stoke Prior Social Club, Weston Road, Stoke Prior, Worcestershire.
Don't forget that all Full MAG members are entitled to attend.
This is your chance to have a direct say in the way that MAG is run.
Full details in Network, The Road and MAG website.
