Napo's Centenary AGM

Lagip extends its thanks to Napo for their support of Lagip at their Centenary AGM in Torquay this week. Happy 100th birthday!

Lagip had a very successful time and managed to secure many new members, both full, honorary and associate thanks to our stall.

We also had a sucessful reception at the Grand Hotel on Friday evening where we were able to solicit ideas and contributions from members and feedback to them some of the challenges we face.

We very much look forward to next year's conference and AGM. Thank you Napo (particularly Kath Falcon) and thank you to everyone who supported us in Torquay!

Mail Forwarding problem

Please note that emails to our @lagip.org.uk addresses from Probation computers are NOT being delivered - despite them saying they are.

Email forwarding stopped working some time ago (exactly when is unknown) - without any warning from Steria.

A RFS has been logged with Steria but it is unlikely to get fixed quickly.

In the meantime, please find us by name in Lotus Notes if you're emailing us from work.
