Full-members Meeting. All members welcome!
The winter season is upon us, and we are thrilled to invite you and all GCCN members to our upcoming GCCN Winter Plenary and Christmas Social 2023.
Join us as we move into a local election year in 2024. Get ready to take action locally.
This meeting aims to engage, inform, and celebrate our community and, this time, it is going to be a three-part event packed with excitement, including choir songs and Christmas refreshments.
Part 1 – Plenary: We begin with a warm welcome and introductions, followed by the essential Plenary work including the GCCN elections, the approval of the GCCN Policies and Positions and insightful conversations around the representatives’ updates.
Part 2 – Community Conversations: This segment is dedicated to dynamic discussions revolving around two pivotal questions. We’ll explore the potential impact of GCCN on the upcoming local elections in 2024. Additionally, we eagerly await your input on shaping the vision for GCCN’s actions in 2024, fostering an engaged and empowered community.
Part 3 – Christmas Social: The Winter Plenary concludes with a delightful Festive Celebration complemented by indulgent mince pies and winter drinks, to celebrate our community as we mark the end of this year and embrace the holiday spirit together
If you wish to attend please REGISTER HERE before Monday, 4 December.
