The Annual General Meeting of the Society was held at All Saints Church Hall on Friday March 28^th.

All the officers of the Society were re-elected and we welcome Kelvin Waites to the committee.

Subscriptions are now due. They remain at last year’s rate, namely £15.00 for members and £7.50 for junior members and patrons. Please try to pay your subscription early, because it helps the Society’s finances.
