Following two years of virtual AGMs held on Zoom, this year we return to an ‘in person’ meeting where we complement the AGM with two interesting talks and an opportunity to catch up and socialise over lunch. Please check this page for further details closer to the time and check for any late changes.
It may be possible to Zoom this meeting (or parts of it) if there is sufficient demand. Please contact Richard Green, our Treasurer on if you are interested in this option.
Location: Burnside Hall (Old Scone Church Hall), Burnside, Scone, PH2 6LP.
