Many thanks indeed,

2013 AGM Minutes

The 2013 AGM minutes are now available from this link

Unfortunately, due to a number of issues, the meeting for the distribution of handbooks will not now be taking place next Wednesday, 20th March, as they will not be available on time. Instead, I am aiming to have the books ready for collection the following Thursday, 28th March. I sincerely apologise for this, but a number of issues have arisen since the AGM, that I will explain in more detail in direct communication with clubs. If, for any reason, your club is unable to send somebody to the meeting on the new scheduled date, then let me know so I can make alternative arrangements with you.

Many thanks, Mark
