We have had a successful year and the AGM gives members the opportunity to put questions to IHBC officers and staff about what we’ve achieved and challenges for the year ahead including progress in our investigations about chartership. There will also be the opportunity to hear all about this year’s exciting Annual School in Swansea. I would encourage everyone to attend this important online event’.
