Are you able to offer voluntary Help on the council or by forming a regional group in your area?

* We need one or two students from the Schools to join the council. Please let us know if you are interested; perhaps you could share the position with a friend. There are 4 meetings a year held on Saturdays usually in the morning and an Annual General Meeting.

* We need a news letter editor; this position could be shared between two people. At present we try to produce an annual, colour magazine but one or two simple news sheets a year would be better than nothing.

* Our regional groups are beginning to flourish providing exhibition opportunities and the chance to fraternize with other ex- grads. At present the South East of England although being particularly fertile with alumni and replete with golden opportunities for forming associated regional groups, is under represented. We need a coordinator for this area; please contact us if you are interested.

* Come to the next regional meeting on 2nd July to find out how we work and whether you feel you want to get involved, you will be most welcome.

* If you have skills to offer do contact us; working on the council can be exciting but it does require a certain amount of commitment  and team work. Having an idea is inspiring but you need to be able to think it through and put it into practice with the help and support of other council members.
