County Dinner
Members are reminded that the County Dinner is to be
held on the 24th September 2011 in the Masonic Hall,
Shrewsbury - 7.30 for 8pm. Tickets £20 per head. More details and
bookings through the County Office - please.
Revised Procedures for the Election of County
Chairmen and Vice Chairmen
Branch Secretaries are reminded that the closing date for
nominations for county chairman and county vice chairman is fast
approaching; they must be at the County Office no later than
1700hrs on the 12th September 2011 (ie. the
2nd Monday).
Branch Account Forms
Branch Treasurers will shortly be receiving from Haig
House one copy of the Branch Account Form for 2010-11, which on
completion must be sent to the County Officer (not Haig House). You
are reminded that this form must be accompanied by a copy of the
bank statement covering the accountancy period before it can be
processed. There is no longer a requirement to send more than one
copy to the County Office; however, branches will wish to keep a
copy for their own records. Should this be a problem please
contact the undersigned.
Amendments to Management Handbook
Branch Secretaries will have recently received from Haig
House amendments and additions to the Management Handbook. I
understand that that a new index is in the process of being printed
- then distributed.
County Festival of
Remembrance
The County Festival of Remembrance will be held on the
22nd October 2011 at the Severn Theatre, Shrewsbury at
7.30pm. Tickets are available from the box
office.
2012 Church Parades
Branches are asked to advise the County Office of dates
they propose to hold their Church Parades in 2012 by 5th
December 2011 - if possible.
2012 County Handbook
Attached is the form for amending the County Handbook for
2012, which I ask be returned to the County Office by
5th December 2011. Please note that all the details you
provide will be printed in a public document (form only sent direct
to branch secretaries).
