Dear colleagues in Branches, Networks & Primary Hubs,
The year has started with plenty of activity around the language world as ever!
Thanks for all of that, and to those who have already offered to run a short slot at the Language Show Live in London in October. All suggestions are still welcome! I will be working on a programme with Wendy shortly, and look forward to seeing you there!
Best wishes,
Steven Fawkes
ALL Honorary Membership Officer, Trustee and Fellow

Regional information
We have now redesigned the ALL Local section of the website into regions to help members to find ALL groups which are local to them. If you have not already done so, please visit the website and review the page for your local group to check that the information about your group is up to date.
We have also been working on detailed membership information for each region to show you where members are based. Log into the Wiki and visit the Guidance and Support folder to see the UK-wide report, a detailed break down by region, and suggestions for how this information might be useful to your local activities.
Contacting members by email
You will shortly be sent an email showing which regional list your local group has been assigned to, along with guidance on how to use the Jiscmail service to connect with members. A copy of the guidance is also available on the Wiki.

#ALLAboard!
We are currently running a recruitment campaign - #ALLAboard - so please retweet, repost, disseminate, and distribute information about ALL membership among colleagues in your locality and help us to grow so that we can support more language teachers. Don't forget to order your materials and membership forms here.
We are in the process of rolling out membership cards to all members, in direct response to feedback from local leaders. Please ask for cards at events as proof of membership. We expect everyone to have received their membership card by the end of autumn term. Membership card wallets are now in stock - find out more!
