Regional groups
UKELA benefits from a number of thriving regional groups across the country. The South East region (covering Surrey, East and West Sussex, Kent, Hampshire) is covered by events offered in London, which should be within easy reach of most members in this region.
Northern Ireland is covered by the activities of the Northern Ireland Working Party.
Kenneth Ross, who is a member of UKELA's Council based in Scotland, is the Regional Group co-ordinator. He will contact the groups from time to time to make sure they have an active committee and are planning events to offer to UKELA members in the regions. His contact details are on the Council page.

Regional Group AGMs 2010
Regional group convenors are reminded that they need to hold an AGM before the end of 2010. This is a good way of attracting new active volunteers and agreeing a programme of events going forward.
