Our branch annual general meeting (AGM)
Every year, our branch holds its AGM, where we:

- elect the branch committee for the coming year
- discuss with your fellow branch members the issues which are most important to you right now
Our branch and ÍâÍøÌìÌà Congress

I have just three points to make…
I was very sad to hear the news that the amazing Dame June Clark passed away in June this year. I met June several times at Congress, and she always gave sage advice. She used to be the head of the School of Nursing in Swansea and believe me, she was a force to be reckoned with. Whenever she came to the microphone at Congress she would always start with the words: "I have just three points to make". I dedicate this blog to her.
