Get your diaries ready, as we've confirmed the date for this year's Residential AGM which is free to attend for all trained Young Advisors! This year, we'll be returning to the Hollowford Centre in Derbyshire (East Midlands) on Tuesday 31st July - Thursday 2nd August 2012. It will, as always, include activities, training and of course our AGM.

We feel that this is one of the most important events in our charity calendar as it is an opportunity to bring members of the movement together to share best practice whilst also enjoying a few days away in the countryside! It is also an opportunity for our young members have the opportunity to scrutinise our accounts and vote new members onto our board of trustees. We are delighted that we can offer this to our members and hope that as many of our teams as possible will send a delegation to Derbyshire.

We love putting together the AGM, but it's better if you get involved too; we would appreciate any help from our membership in offering to run workshops at the AGM or thinking creatively about how schemes can work together to keep travel costs to the event as low as possible. The theme this year is "Celebrating Success" so any contributions are welcome!

To get you thinking - what about a showcase of your successful work? How do we measure success? What would a successful Young Advisors movement look like in the future? You get the idea - get in touch with us if you want to contribute in any way and we'll try and fit you in.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions and most of all to seeing many of you and your teams in Derbyshire this year.
