AGM on 11 November – A New Constitution?

The Bristol JLD evolved from the Bristol TSG a few years ago, itself having evolved from the Bristol Articled Clerks Association.  Times have changed, but the group’s constitution has not!  So, it’s time to change that…

Approved by the Committee and recommended for ratification and formal adopting at the AGM on 11 November (at The Big Chill Bar on Small Street from 5:45pm), the draft new constitution can be found here.
