All meetings are now open meetings (please see News page for more details of each meeting as these are announced). Committee Meetings are now held when required on separate dates.
We appreciate that anyone planning to attend our AGM and subsequent YBF meetings may be concerned about Coronavirus.
In the circumstances, we have decided to postpone our AGM to a later date.
