Club Secretary Catch Up – 7 December
At a recent club catchup, it is noted that club secretaries would welcome the opportunity to come together and discuss a number of topics that impact the role and meet other club secretaries.
The first topic discussion will take place on the 7 th December at 7pm. I have created the following form to allow any interested individuals to raise a topic(s) they would like to see discussed. If there are a large number of topics, I will look to cover these in additional sessions.
Here is the link, as promised above: NCAS Club Secretaries – 7th December 2023
If you have any queries or would like to discuss this further, please let me know.
Many thanks
