Why attend an event?

Our regular webinars cover a wide range of different topics, giving members a chance to hear from expert speakers and develop their knowledge. All of our webinars are recorded, meaning you can catch up at a time that suits you.

Many of our local branches also put on engaging online and in-person skills events
and talks that are open to all MA members.

Branches also nominate their members to attend the Royal Garden Party events held at Buckingham Palace.

Thank you for nominating me to attend the Royal Garden Party on your behalf. We enjoyed the company of HRM King Charles and HRH Queen Camilla, in the wonderful grounds of Buckingham Palace. The Royal bands played in the background whilst guests enjoyed the tea and the famous finger sandwiches. Thank you for valuing the work members do, and offering me to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity.
