MALG Regional Meetings update

MALG Regional Group Meetings are still being held via Zoom and we have found these to be very well attended. Remember, if you are a National Member, you have access to some or all of the regional groups so please take advantage of this membership benefit.

Please note that the MALG North East & Yorkshire meeting scheduled for 6 October will no longer be taking place following the recent restructuring of the steering committee. We will keep you informed by email and on the MALG website with details of the next one which should be in person on 9 December 2021. The next MALG East Anglia Meeting is tomorrow (7 October) and will be all about ‘Building a Better Future’ in the region.

Details of all upcoming regional meetings can be found at www.malg.org.uk/events.

If you aren’t currently being invited to regional meetings and think you should be/want to be, please contact the relevant regional secretary:
