Circular letter sent by local NUWT branches to members asking for lists of all women teachers in their school and indicating what union they belong to, in order to target membership drives
Summary of statistics relating how many branches have ordered leaflets, how many new members have been recruited and how many of these new members joined as a result of the membership campaign

Minutes of the General Purposes and Organisation Committee which discuss the Membership Campaign
Requests from branches for more leaflets

Leaflets were sent out in packs and included leaflets explaining about NUWT membership and what you got for your subscription, arguments for equal pay, arguments why you should join the NUWT over the National Union of Teachers |
