We need you! (To get down to our AGM, that is...) Your council invites you to attend the 2022 Annual General Meeting of the Insurance Institute of Chester & North Wales. Hear first-hand reports from council members on previous and future activities and vote on the appointment of new council members. If you feel you could make a positive contribution, it is an ideal first step to becoming involved in your local institute.

Book your tickets now for our 2022 annual dinner, which will also be a celebration of our centenary year. This prestigious event is the pinnacle of the Institute calendar and your support is very much appreciated. Those of you who have attended previously will know that the evening provides an excellent opportunity to meet with friends and colleagues, enjoy fine food and wine, relax and have a dance. We are sure that you will not wish to miss what will be an excellent evening for only £45 per person. Note that we have chosen a new venue for 2022 with the Dinner being held at Chester Racecourse.
