Subject: Tuesday 11th September - NUJ Social Evening at TUC Congress

Dear all,

We're sure you've been following the announcements on the NUJ's main website, but we'd like to remind you about a few events taking place in Brighton next week as part of TUC Congress.

First and foremost is the NUJ social evening on Tuesday 11th September, which we've helped to organise. It'd be great to see as many people there as possible and guests/possible recruits are more than welcome.

NUJ social evening

Come join the NUJ on the last night of TUC Congress for a few drinks and friendly banter.

Donnacha DeLong, NUJ President, and Ewa Jasiewicz, Unite organiser and NUJ freelance member, will kick things off with a short discussion about building the NUJ and then chill out, have a few drinks and network. Journalists, broadcasters, bloggers, Tweeters, PRs, publishers, web designers and comradely trade unionists welcome, you don't have to be an NUJ member (yet) to come along.

Time:  7pm, Tuesday 11 September.
