Branch Meetings
The Branch meeting is held on the second
Monday in every Month at 8.00 p.m. at Walford Hall, Carey Street,
Reading RG1 7JS.
All members are welcome to
attend.
Situation Vacant – Can you help?
Greyfriars needs your help. Are you
interested in being involved with the Branch, as we need a new
Secretary. Not an arduous job, but interesting. You will need
to take the minutes and read the correspondence at our monthly
meetings and send a few letters. The present Secretary will
help any new officer to settle into this job, she is retiring due
to ill health.
Also due to Eddie’s success being elected to
the Regional Council we will be looking for a new Vice President.
This job is in preparation for taking on the position of President
in a year’s time. To assist in the planning and running of
the Branch events and generally help the President. The rest
of the officers have all done this job in the past and can help any
new officer to learn the ‘ropes’.
If your interested in helping the Branch either by being an
officer as above or can assist in any other way please contact Alan
Standing on 0118 9470059.
