Call for presentations and AGM invite
The branch invites all patrons (national plus Tshwane) to advise if they wish to present at a Technical Evening during 2018. We have compiled a preliminary schedule and hope to finalise this early in the year at the branch strategy meeting. Kindly note that there is a fee associated with presenting, which is put towards paying for the venue.
We will resume proceedings on 7 February with the AGM and a Technical Evening. We have openings on the branch committee, so please contact us if you are interested to ensure we comply with the nomination process.
