STEP Thames Valley
STEP Thames Valley branch covers a wide area and has in excess of 200 full and student members.The branch membership includes lawyers, accountants, financial advisers and will writers practising in the Thames Valley region and beyond. The Thames Valley branch region ranges from as far as Banbury in the North to Basingstoke in the South and Swindon in the West to Windsor in the East.
The branch holds meetings at 6pm on the second Thursday in January, March, May, July and September, with a full day annual conference in November. Meetings are generally free for members (with a nominal charge of £7 for non-members) and take the form of presentations from speakers on a wide variety of topics, sometimes followed by a question and answer session when members are able to bring up any issues for discussion amongst the group. The branch AGM is held at the May meeting.
Due to the relatively large geographical area covered by our branch, meetings are held in rotation between Reading, Oxford and Newbury.
We liaise with other professional organisations in our area and hold at least one joint meeting a year with the Thames Valley branch of CIOT.
Our annual conference is normally held at Phyllis Court in Henley when a full day of training is provided to members with excellent speakers on a range of topics, all at a very reasonable price.
The branch is run by a very dedicated committee of volunteers and we always welcome new members.
