CND is a democratic organisation and our annual conference and AGM is the opportunity for members to decide our overall direction for the coming year, to debate contemporary issues and to draw strength and inspiration from participating in a collective national forum.

We look forward to welcoming you to CND’s Annual AGM and conference, which will be held at the Arlington Conference Centre, 220 Arlington Road, Camden, London NW1 7HE on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th October 2015.

This is our policy conference that provides members with the important opportunity to decide our overall direction for the coming year so please do encourage as many of your members as possible to come along and contribute.

Sunday 18th October

By October we may be just months away from the Parliamentary decision on Trident, due in early 2016. This second open day of conference will be an opportunity to discuss and assess our progress since May’s general election and further develop our strategy to get rid of Trident.

This day will be organised together with other nuclear disarmament groups to have the maximum discussion around different methods and areas of expertise. Please come along and bring anyone you know who is working to scrap Trident: together we are strong! Jeremy Corbyn MP, Leader of the Labour Party Amelia Womack, Deputy Leader of the Green Party Brendan O’Hara MP, SNP Defence Spokeperson Kate Hudson, CND General Secretary John Hilary, Executive Director, War on Want and others
