The Club's AGM will be held on Sunday 15th June 2025. A quorum of 15 is needed to conduct a valid meeting so it is important we get the numbers. You can attend in person, or by Zoom, or by filling in a proxy form and have someone else represent you. The meeting will elect office bearers, committee members and other roles in the club. After the meeting refreshments will be available plus a bit of music making. So bring your instruments along. Hope you can make it.
