This resolution, submitted by Finsbury Park branch and seconded by Stratford no.1 branch, was carried unanimously by the January 2011 meeting of the Regional Council:

That this Regional Council is concerned about the dates each Branch holds it meetings and how these date interlocks with the regional council’s executive committee on which each Branch Secretary and Chair are ex officio members, and how each branch feeds into the Regional Council itself.

With this in mind, we ask that the Regional Organiser convene a ‘Spheres of Influence’ meeting early in the New Year of 2011 with a view to negotiate with branch a order of coordinated, effective and influential meeting dates in time for the 2012 calendars.
