During the last DSG Meeting and following feedback from our members, we discussed at length the lack of interaction between the DSG and our membership. We understand that this is not a new issue, and for many years there has been a growing feeling of disconnect between members, staff and DSG. We are keen to hear your thoughts and suggestions on matters concerning VATSIM UK as a whole, as we are conscious that many of our pilots and controllers can provide insight into problems which may not be apparent to us as the DSG.

In order to address this problem, we are pleased to announce the introduction of 'Town Hall' sessions. The first session will be held on 22 July, however moving forward these will run on the first Monday of each quarter, beginning at 2000 local in the UK and taking place on the VATSIM UK Discord server. This will be a chance for us all to listen to issues, suggestions and connect with each other.

Each session will focus on one aspect of the Division, and the relevant department lead will be in attendance alongside myself and Nick. All VATSIM members are welcome to attend, however we would especially like to hear from members of our Division.
