Annual General Meeting 2023

Wed 25th October, 7pm, Bridestones Suite, Congleton Town Hall

Connect with like-minded individuals, share ideas, and help us make a meaningful impact. Let’s celebrate our achievements and plan for a better future together! We are thrilled to invite you to the 2023 Congleton Pride Annual General Meeting! As we enter our anniversary year, we have so much to celebrate and even more to accomplish, and we need your help to make it happen.

At this year’s AGM, you can cast your vote to elect the committee members who will work tirelessly to elevate and empower LGBTQIA+ people in Congleton and the surrounding area. But this event is about so much more than just that – it’s a chance to connect with like-minded individuals passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion in our town.

While our AGM may not be our only festive occasion, it’s certainly one that we’re excited about. We’re looking forward to sharing our plans for the year ahead, discussing new initiatives, and hearing your ideas for how we can make a meaningful impact in our community.

If you would like to be considered for a position on the Pride Management Committee please forward your nomination to admin@congletonpride.co.uk (or simply express an interest on the evening itself). We would particularly like to hear from you if you have a keen interest in event or financial management.

So, whether you’re a current member or considering joining our Pride group, we hope you’ll join us for an inspiring evening of community, connection, and progress.
