Are you part of our winning team – or looking for a way to get more involved? Our Annual General Meeting is the perfect opportunity to do just that.

This is where members come together to reflect on what we’ve achieved locally, to share ideas for the year ahead, and to elect our executive committee. It’s also a chance to hear more about the work our teams have been doing in the community and how, with your support, we can achieve even more.

Our successes only happen because people step forward to give their time and energy. The more members who take part, the more impact we can have – whether that’s winning campaigns, supporting residents, or securing funding for local projects.

We’d be delighted to see you there and hope you’ll join us for an evening of discussion, decisions, and setting the direction for the year to come.

Join us for an unmissable evening with Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles KCMG LVO, one of Britain's most distinguished diplomats and a Sevenoaks local who cut his political teeth supporting the Liberal campaign in 1974—much of it run from his dad's Landrover!

From serving as Ambassador to Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Israel, to engaging with governments worldwide in senior roles at HSBC, Sherard has witnessed first-hand the seismic shifts reshaping our world. As Brexit's consequences unfold, trade patterns fracture, and new alliances form, what role should Britain play on the global stage?

With his unique perspective spanning diplomacy, international business, and decades of Middle Eastern expertise, Sherard will explore:

• The forces driving deglobalisation
• How Britain can navigate this changing landscape
• What our relationship with Europe, Asia and the Middle East should look like

Author of Cables from Kabul and Ever the Diplomat, Sherard combines insider knowledge with engaging storytelling. This is your chance to hear from someone who's shaped Britain's foreign policy and to ask your questions about our nation's future.

Free and open to all. Light refreshments provided. The talk will follow our members-only AGM (7.15 - 8.00pm)

6 Months to the day, it will be polling day for the Senedd Elections when we will be working to get Sam Bennett elected for Gŵyr Abertawe. Help us mark this with one of 3 action days.
