August 2022 Members Meeting

Category : News

It is with great pleasure that we can inform you that our August members’ meeting will take place face-to-face for the first time since pre-Covid.  This has been a long time coming as I’m sure you’ll agree, and we look forward to seeing many of you at the pre-Zoom venue of University of the West of Scotland Paisley Campus, Room D128 on Monday 8th August 2022.

However, please note the new start time of 7pm, different from the normal time of 7.30pm. This is due to UWS requiring to close at 9pm sharp, so we want to have more time to play with in case we run over time.

For those of you who live some distance away from Renfrewshire, we are planning to use Zoom as per Covid practice to offer you the chance to still attend, in a hybrid-style meeting.  We would encourage those who are able to attend in person to still do so. Full details have been sent to members via email.

The meeting will consist of the usual meeting business and coaching slot and we would like to see as many of you there as possible.
