Abstract
Notice - Proposed Merger of Manchester & Chester and Merseyside Local Sections
Notice is given that the committees of both Manchester & Chester and Merseyside Local Sections are proposing a merger of the two sections into a new single local section.
To the existing committees it seems likely there are useful synergies in terms of technical & social meetings, programme, budget, links to academia, etc.
The proposed name of the new local sections is “Central North-West”.
Members of either local section, with constructive opposition or viable alternatives to this proposal are asked to contact the appropriate Chairman of their local section.
