Dear Colleague,

Welcome to the National Industrial Organising Conference of Supervisory, Clerical & Other Salaried

Grades 2018, Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th March 2018 at the Winning Post in Twickenham, The

Harlequin Suite.

I would appreciate it if you would circulate details to all your Supervisory, Clerical & Other Salaried

Grades members within your Branch and Regional Council Meetings, and encourage them to attend

this Conference. I would also appreciate any and all donations from your branches or Regional

Councils to help ensure the smooth running of this event.

I have enclosed delegate nomination forms and I look forward to receiving Branch resolutions and

nominations for Officers and the Conference Executive Committee. Please complete these forms and return

to me as soon as possible. I shall accept resolutions and nominations up until Saturday 17th February, after

which time, resolutions will be considered emergency resolutions, and nominations for posts will be from

the floor should any positions still not be nominated.

It is important that all Branches sending delegates to the Conference consider any positions that may be

suitable for their delegates or delegates from other Branches. I must remind you that Resolutions for the

Conference must be germane to the grades otherwise they will be rejected.

Please do your best to send at least one delegate from your Branch or Regional Council to this

important Conference and, if possible some resolutions.

At the time of writing, we have asked our neighbour to be the special guest, John McDonnell MP

Hayes & Harlington. We are still waiting on final acceptance, but hope that it will be good news.

Unfortunately, I can’t supply a list of prices, as the adjoining hotel is a Premier Inn, and their prices change

from day-to-day. The management are aware that a delegation from RMT will be booking, so I would urge

that you do book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

If you have any queries to any of the above information, please contact me on the contact details below.

Yours sincerely

Michael Campbell
