New Neasden Branch Banner

To all branch members,

Neasden branch are looking to update the branch banner and are looking for your suggestions on how it could look? It must be simple and relevant to the branch and it must contain the union motto 'Unity is Strength.'

If you have a design in mind, jot it down and email to neasden@rmt.org.uk or feel free to bring your ideas along to the next meeting.

Yours in solidarity
Les Bruty
Neasden branch Secretary
