Frequently Asked Questions

  • The fbe has branches across the UK which organise formal and informal events throughout the year. The benefits of operating on a local level is that local people work on local projects, meaning the people you meet at your branch's events understand the social-economic and political landscape of the area in which you work and members find very useful local contacts at these events.

  • Your fbe membership entitles you to go to any events around the country.

  • As a member of fbe or fft you can attend any events we hold.

  • Unfortunately if you are not the member you will need to attend the event as a non member or you can apply for membership now.

  • You will need to be proposed/seconded by two fully paid up members of the Branch and elected at an Annual General Meeting, details of the procedure will be in the Branch Constitution. If you would like to email admin@fbeonline.co.uk and say which branch you would like to be a committee member of, we can pass on your details to the chairman and ask them to contact you.
