FSB Members’ Evening in The Village Hotel SA1

The one held this month on 7th June in the Village Hotel, was another well attended evening. Guest speaker Iestyn Davies, Wales’ newly appointed Head of External Affairs, gave an excellent and inspirational talk, encouraging both on recruitment, and retention, by stressing the value of membership. 



Head of Welsh Policy Janet Jones gave a useful insight into her role, and the final speaker was Branch Secretary Mike Jones who informed all members how they can get money off their membership simply by sending in details of prospective new members via the FSB website, under the Ask Me Why scheme.  And Recruiter Steve Teasdale was also on hand with additional membership information.

The around 50 attendees made it yet another successful night for Swansea Bay branch FSB.
