Following CSSC's AGM on Tuesday 14 June, important and very exciting changes to CSSC' s membership rules will come into play shortly. This includes expansion of our membership to allow all public sector workers to join CSSC, in addition to all armed forces personnel who were allowed to join earlier this year. That's only a part of the story though and further announcements, including great recruitment incentives for all existing members, will be circulated soon.
Whether you' ve been with CSSC for weeks or years, watch out for more details!
There have been some great developments within the London Region. Online Shopping is now live, allowing you to buy cinema tickets and a range of other benefits with a simple click of a button! New discounted fitness packages have been negotiated for our members and CSSC members can also obtain a £32 saving on Civil Service Club membership, Scotland Yard. London Region's activity programme, moreover, is continuing to expand due to the ongoing development of local districts. If you are interested in volunteering locally or regionally, we have a Volunteer Night planned for Wednesday 27 July 2011, offering members an opportunity to get involved. Please read below to find out more.
