ALERT 'Following a sharp fall in attendance at our monthly meetings it was decided at our branch AGM on the 9th April 2016 that unless someone stepped forward before September to take on various tasks, the branch, after over sixty years, will be formally closed and no more meetings held. Unfortunately no-one has volunteered and furthermore in the last few months we have also lost several long serving key members so the branch is now closed. Our thanks to the many members who have supported us over the years, many unfortunately no longer with us, and to all those speakers who presented so many interesting talks.'
