Date: 13th April 2026
Subject: Forthcoming Federation 80th anniversary in 2027
2027 will be the year of our 80th anniversary and the E.C. feel we should mark the event by celebrating it in some kind of enjoyable manner. To this end we wish to establish a subgroup to oversee all arrangements and are inviting all interested members to become a committee member and have their say and input into the final event and arrangements.
Meetings will probably be held by telephone conference call, so no need to leave the warmth of your own home.
It’s your Federation and your celebration and we want to hear from you! You are cordially invited to submit your name to become a committee member and help develop our strategy and direction for the last 20 years of our first century.
Please submit your name to head office as soon as possible and by no later than 30 April 2026, so arrangements can be made and finalised.
