We're continuing to receive very encouraging reports showing increased branch attendances in 2005. At the end of March, the average attendance for the UK stood at 32. Compared to 2004's average of 24 (in itself really good) and the general trend of between 17 and 20 throughout the 90s things would seem to be working really well! This is in no small part down to your hard work, so thank you for your support and your efforts. It really is appreciated by the AAT. <BR><BR>Feedback we've received from members has mentioned the increased mailings as one of the reasons they're attending meetings. We really want to make these mailings as effective as possible and include as much as we can to encourage members to take the plunge and see what you have to offer. Ideally, the following information should be included on each mailing:<BR><BR>- confirmed meeting date<BR>- title / topic<BR>- some bullet points to describe the content<BR>- speaker name, company and/or job title, plus biography (if possible)<BR>- venue and address<BR>- a committee contact <BR><BR>Agnieszka Grzywaczewska - agnieszka.grzywaczewska@aat.org.uk - will be in touch about a month before each meeting to discuss the mailing content and help to include as much details as possible. Any additional information you can have ready for her would be much appreciated - by Agnieszka... and the members receive it!<BR><BR>Feel free to drop me a line at steven.drew@aat.org.uk if you have any other ideas that have helped to get more people along to your events.<BR><BR>Best,<BR>Steven
