The 2019 Branch Finance Training Days will replace the annual Finance Convention (previously held at the Blackpool Hilton over a February weekend).

The training days will cover topics including:

 Objective based budgeting for branches

 Annual branch account closure process

 OLBA updates

 Update and Q&A on Branch Finance and the role of Branch Treasurer

All NW Branch Secretaries and Treasurers and those who are likely to take on the role of Treasurer from 2019 onwards are invited and encouraged to attend. Region will also consider branch nominations for one other appropriate officer per branch (eg an Assistant Secretary, Assistant Treasurer or a Chair who takes responsibility for finances in the branch).
