RMT Young Members’ AGM training Course - 2010
Aberdeen, Sunday 27th June – Friday 2nd July
Last year we held a very successful ‘AGM Course’ for our young members. Sixteen attended – the largest course of its kind that we have organised. Our improved organisation for young members was further reflected when 30 delegates attended the recent National Young Members Conference, in Liverpool.
We are now looking for young active members to train on our 2010 course which shall run in tandem with our AGM in Aberdeen. Members must be under 30 years of age at the start of the course.
Applications need to be submitted by the 30th April 2010
