me know if you have any accessibility requirements.

some networking and drinks.
Yesterday you all should have received an email from London
Labour Party announcing that they are re-opening the selection process to women
in Newham. We desperately need more women on Newham Council. If you're eligible
( to apply you need to be a woman, a
paid-up member since at least 1 January 2016 and resident in Newham since at
least 1 January 2017.) Please do consider standing and encourage your local Labour sister to
apply. If you have any questions about the process please do drop me a message.
We also have our Annual General Meeting (AGM) coming up after
the local elections in May (some branches will be holding their AGMs after the
elections too) At an AGM you'll be electing
branch/forum officers
as well as nominating officers for West Ham Constituency Party. All positions
are up for elections. If you haven't been notified of your AGM yet
please let me know and I can put you in touch with the secretary.
