Tonight’s AGM – Cancelled

Due to the bad weather we have taken the decision to cancel the AGM which was due to take place tonight and re-schedule for Tuesday 2nd April at the same time and location.

No doubt the weather conditions will improve now that the meeting has been cancelled! However we felt that it was prudent to make this decision given the forecast for the next 24 hours and the distances that some people will have to travel.

Many thanks for your understanding and I look forward to seeing everyone on 2nd April.

Brian Wilson

Chair
