The ULR Forums are for all ULRs in Southeastern to come together and discuss issues around Lifelong Learning. Work together in solving any issues and plan for future activity that will benefit the employees and their families.
One of the issues for discussion is the launch of an online basics campaign to encourage people who are not very confident with computers to have a go and learn at least the basics of how to survive using the internet, for pleasure and learning.
We will also be looking at plans for the new year to set up courses that people want. Looking at other subjects as well as British Sign Language and Digital Photography.
We have also been asked to attend the Company Council meetings for Conductors and Retail Grades, to help them understand more about what ULRs do and how they can help to promote it.
We now have access to learning rooms at Chatham, Tonbridge, Dover and Orpington and possibly we may also have one in London near St Pancras. So if you live or work in those areas and would like a course in something. Speak to your local ULR for more information.

There are still vacancies for ULRs in many areas. If you are a Union Member and would like to help other people to get back into learning then contact your branch secretary
or email rslc-c@hotmail.co.uk
