MAC members make sure you attend this meeting ! We need to get a sufficient number of financial members to make a quorum, and we need to appoint a full committee as required by our current club rules.
Without that the club will be defunct.

There will be a Special General Meeting in December 2019, before Christmas with a date to be confirmed, to

1. elect the Club Officers and up to six additional General Committee members;
