With the current state of play politically, and the chance of an impending snap general election, we've had strong feedback from some members and conversations with candidates, that they may not attend the conference as it's a full Saturday that they could spend campaigning - and Saturday is campaign "gold time".
As a result, we will be holding our annual AGM as a "FREE to attend" event in Leicester for a half-day only, doors open at 10 am with the AGM at 10:30 am, rather than a full conference. There will also be Agent Training provided.
