Regional receptions for members

As a valued member of National Energy Action (NEA) we are continually looking at the benefits we bring to your organisation and how we can better connect with our members. One way we propose to do this is to hold a series of regional member receptions across England and Wales. The receptions will be held over the winter period and will be an opportunity for members to come together in an informal setting to meet each other, meet the membership team and key regional staff from NEA and meet other invited guests such as a relevant Mayor or MPs. In order to select the best places for the events, we would map out our members geographically and target the events where we have larger clusters of members to ensure we can make them as accessible as possible for most. We would like however to canvas your opinion on the events and I have included 2 key questions below which I would really appreciate you answering:
Would you attend a free membership-only reception in your area?
What time of the day would you prefer the reception is held?
