2 Dec 2025 SWOAPG Annual General Meeting (face-to-face / hybrid)

TEAMS LINK FOR THOSE JOINING US ONLINE

This year’s SWOAPG AGM will be hosted by Up and Under in Cardiff, although we hope (technology permitting) to be able to offer a hybrid option as well. The papers will be published in due course, but in the meantime Up and Under have confirmed that they will:

• provide brews, drinks, nibbles and staff to chat to;
• donate some sort of prize raffle or similar;
• give us a short presentation around new products and/or other equipment-related matters; and
• offer “professional” pricing on all products in all departments, so attendees can do centre top-ups or family Christmas present shopping!

Please RSVP on our website event listing so we know who to expect; we look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible!
