Many LALG members will receive a reminder in November that their membership is coming up for renewal. If you are among them, we do hope you will want to carry on enjoying what LALG has to offer. Renewal is much easier now that you can pay online or over the phone.
The LALG Social Team organises social events during the year plus the Members’ Monday Meetings. The Team needs another couple of people and some new ideas so please get in touch if you’d like to join us – being the Social Team we are very friendly! And you don’t have to go to every event we organise so don’t worry about having to do something you’re not interested in or don’t have time for.
Please email Ann (SocialTeam@lalg.org.uk) if you are interested in helping out.
