Welcome to MFG/PRO User Group UK
Introduction
The MFG/PRO User Group UK was formed in December
1994 by the merger of the Largotim MFG/PRO User Group and the British
MFG/PRO User group. All users of the MFG/PRO software in the UK
are now together and benefit from swapping ideas and experiences.
The association is a non-profit making body, funded by its members,
and is totally independent of both suppliers and QAD. At the current
time there are over 160 member companies in the user network, from
large multi-nationals to small company users. The User Group aims
to provide benefit to all users, in all sectors, by networking practical
experiences.

Structure
of the Organisation
The organisation is controlled by an Executive Committee elected
at the Annual General Meeting in May / June each year. This Committee
consists of three Officers: Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer,
a paid, part time, Secretary and a number of elected Committee members.
Members of the Committee may serve for a maximum of three years
before seeking re-election. The Secretary contracts with the Executive
Committee to provide secretarial and administrative services to
the User Group. The Secretary acts as a central point of contact
for all Members.
Fees
Members
pay an annual membership fee, which is reviewed annually by the
Executive Committee. It is currently £200 per annum plus VAT
(2008/2009). The membership year runs from 1 April to 31 March.
Activities
The
User Group plans to hold at least three members meetings during
the year, one being a two day event. Past events are described elsewhere.
Other networking activities are planned for the future. In addition,
the Chairman attends the QAD MFG/PRO World-wide user conference
on behalf of Members. This, high profile event, brings considerable
benefits to the User Group from interaction with QAD, other companies
and other international user groups.
