AGM Announcement

NADS is pleased to announce that this year’s AGM will take place at Wembley Stadium on 26th May commencing at 12.45pm.

We are delighted that the President of NADS, Mr David Bernstein will open the meeting. Also joining David as a speaker at the AGM will be Mr Andy Anson, Chief Executive of England 2018 bid team.

There will be a number of organisations with stands at the event including disability charities, England 2018 & London 2012. Members will have the opportunity to visit the stalls and gather the latest information whilst enjoying lunch and refreshments.

Once the AGM business has concluded there will be a break out session to give our members a chance to discuss their vision for disabled supporters over the next 5 years.

At end of the day there will be an opportunity for an accessible guided tour of Wembley. The numbers for this are limited and will be on a first come first served basis.
