Here’s some excellent feedback from our previous webinars:
Please note that spaces on each webinar is limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served space. Please only book if you’re able to attend.
If you’re a registered GB leader/officer, you can book online for this webinar here.
On the day, please ensure that you’re logged into the Zoom call ready for the meeting to begin about 5-10 minutes before. Zoom is a really easy piece of software to use. Here is how you can download the software to your computer in advance. It’s best to use it with a laptop with a webcam. We’d love to ‘see’ you!
