AGM Feedback

What an enjoyable evening! We had a great mix of 38 participants & 4 apologies and warmly welcomed Mike Montgomery to our newsletter/media team.

Members tucked into a varied selection of cheeses & biscuits, fruits, pickles, cold meats, bread & healthy snacks! It was very uplifting to see so many smiling faces interacting and reconnecting. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and supported our efforts, demonstrating their dedication to our association.
