Chair's Address

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to our Newsletter.

It is that time of year when we invite you to renew your membership or join us as a new member.

RTG is an organisation with over 35 years history of providing quality CPD events for therapists in the area. Our seminars offer opportunities to learn, think outside of the box and enhance our practice. Our events also help us build connections and feel more integrated into local therapeutic community. There are many organisations that provide CPD. Online events became much more accessible since pandemic which sometimes affects the numbers of people joining our events. However, we understand from communicating with you, that there is still sufficient interest in keeping RTG going as an important local source of low-cost CPD.

You might remember our email in September where we asked people to come forward and help the Committee so RTG can continue to exist. Without your support we will not be able to run it for much longer. We are pleased to tell you that a few colleagues kindly stepped forward and will be joining us. We are delighted and grateful for that. They will bring new energy and enthusiasm to our organisation, and we look forward to welcoming them. We will confirm our roles in the new year and will share with you how we are planning to move forward.

Our membership is diverse in modalities, qualifications, experience, places of practice, etc. We are proud to share with you our 2025 Programme. In putting it together we wanted to cover a broad spectrum of topics presented by knowledgeable and enthusiastic speakers. We hope that you will find it interesting, and we will be delighted if you join RTG. We are keeping our membership fees same for the 11th year. It will give you free access to 8 evening seminars and will give discounts for the workshops too. Evening seminars will continue online while Saturday workshops will most likely be in person. Certificates of attendance will be provided.

To join please use our environmentally friendly Application Form. Alternatively, you can download it , complete and post to the address provided.

We hope you choose to join RTG and look forward to seeing you in 2025.
