All members are welcome to meet the Trustees in bi-monthly General Meetings to discuss fund-raising, promotion and general development issues. Zoom facilities are available for those who do not live locally.

General Meetings normally take place on the 3rd Thursdays of February, April, June, August, and October. The Trustees also meet privately every 3rd Thursday (with the exception of December)  with meetings taking place after the General Meeting on dates when the two meetings coincide.

An SGM is usually scheduled for the 3rd Thursday of February when members will be asked to approve the accounts of the previous year, and the AGM is usually scheduled for the 3rd Thursday of April when all members will vote to elect Trustees for the coming year and conduct other annual business. 

Until further notice all General and Trustees’ meetings are only being held by Zoom at 7.00pm.
