Fresh New Look Planned for NOC in 2022

11 October 2021

NOC 2022

 

Work is underway for a new look NOC in the Spring of 2022.

We hope this will become a permanent date for our yearly NOC gathering, and together with the new date we plan to make our first face-to-face NOC gathering since 2019 – something for us all to look forward to.

In the meantime, due to the continuing uncertainty over COVID-19 infection rates we’ve taken the decision to facilitate a number of online NOC discussion sessions across the remainder of this year.

LOCSU CEO Richard Whittington said:

“I always look forward to seeing everyone at the NOC, we’ve all missed these face-to-face gatherings. But following discussion at the LOCSU board it was agreed that with covid infection rates still uncertain and practices working hard whilst employing covid safe procedures it wouldn’t be responsible to ask people to come together in November.”

This year’s discussion sessions are still not to be missed though, with sessions dealing with areas of current discussion at national, regional and local levels.

We’ll be bringing you details of the sessions soon so keep an eye out for dates and times on our social media channels.
