NOTICES

  • It is coming up to the time for the AGM and that means the election of a new committee. Please think about joining the committee because it is unfair to expect the same old(!) faces to keep doing everything every year.

 

March Meeting

The March meeting was given over to the Annual Auction. There were 199 lots.  The auction raised £2,476.50. From this the club has benefitted by £257.55 in commission and donations.
