<BR>We hope that you have enjoyed your branchâ??s activities this year and found them useful. 2004 has been a really good year for the branch network and this is in no small part down to the hard work of the hundreds of volunteers involved. <BR><BR>We're looking forward to working with you all during 2005. The new communication initiatives to improve branch promotion will be introduced from January and we hope these will generate even more interest in your events. To recap some of our previous messages, these include:<BR><BR>â?¢ Regional programme cards - the 6 monthly regional card will be sent to all full and fellow members plus â??activeâ?? students in the first week of January.<BR><BR>â?¢ Increased branch event mailings - from January, branch event mailngs will be despatched to ALL local full members as opposed to just â??activesâ??. â??Activeâ?? student members will also continue to be mailed.<BR><BR>It should be an exciting time for the branch network. We really believe that together we can encourage even more people to join in and see the benefits of branch events for themselves!<BR><BR>Merry Christmas and a happy new year!<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR>Steven<BR>

Hi Steven<BR><BR>This year has certainly been fruitful for the South Wales Branch as more and more members and students attend events. We have also seen a positive interest in the branch network from the local AC's which a big step forward in attracting student members.<BR><BR>We have worked very hard but without the support of HQ and the improved mailing system l don't beleive we could have achieved the attendance we have enjoyed this year.<BR><BR>Thank you to everyone in HQ.<BR><BR>Regards<BR><BR>Barbara<BR>
