FASET (Fall Arrest Safety Equipment Training) has announced that its Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday 24th November 2022 in an event that also includes the association’s Annual Awards and Members’ Social Evening.
In 2020, the annual event had to be cancelled due to the Covid pandemic, which made 2021’s AGM and Awards event all the more anticipated – and it didn’t disappoint.
This year’s event will build on the success of 2021. Staying at the same stunning venue – Tewkesbury Park, Lincoln Green Lane, Tewkesbury – the AGM will commence at 10.30am (with registration and coffee from 9.30am). The evening event will begin at 6.30pm with a drinks reception. Around the awards ceremony, guests will enjoy a fantastic social evening, with entertainment from magician Chris Congreave and award-winning comedian Scott Bennett.
As the trade association and training body for the safety netting and temporary safety systems industry, FASET is recognised as the authoritative voice for safe working at height, delivering support through quality guidance, dedicated training and exclusive benefit schemes for its members.
