Happy New Year!  This year, we welcome new members Rebekkah, Lucy and Pavan.

We will be meeting on Monday 7 January instead of Wednesday 9 January as a one-off change.

This will give us a chance to discuss how to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) and send our votes in by proxy by the Wednesday. 

The agenda:

1. Discuss the EGM and how to vote (see www.amnesty.org.uk/egm)

2. Take action on the death penalty in the Gambia 

3. Have a fundraising brainstorm and initiate one or two ideas

It will be a busy and important meeting and it is urgent that as many of us as possible attend so that we have enough people to vote democratically as a group (otherwise, please let Deepa know your thoughts on the resolutions before the 7th, so that we can take them into account).
