ACU Head Office hosted an ‘Open Day’ held on Tuesday 25th March. Proposed by the South Midland Centre at the November National Council meeting, the Open Day was designed to encourage Club Members who would not normally go to the ACU to attend the Open Day to see how the Headquarters operates and meet the staff.
The day began with a presentation by ACU General Secretary – Gary Thompson who spoke about the Structure of the ACU, the structure of ACU Head Office and outlined some current issues the staff are currently dealing with. Xenia Munro the Finance and Support Services Manager then spoke about the On Line Licencing System, On Line Entries and the Centre/Club Log In page. A tour of the building then enabled the attendees to meet members of staff and discuss more issues in depth and more importantly to put names to faces.
ACU Chairman, Brian Higgins commented, “today has been a really good exercise, we have opened the doors to ACU Head Office and had a good informative day which has enabled those who have attended to see the Office in a proper working environment. Today was the first and has been a success, so it would be good to plan more in the future”.
