New Treasurer Needed

Our current honorary treasurer, Melanie, will be standing down at our April 2026 AGM, so we are in need of a volunteer to fill this post.

A replacement is essential for the continuance of the Society, if you are a member, do please consider if you could offer some time to help fulfil this role.

Melanie has left everything very well organised and will be on hand to advise and assist her successor in the transition.

Thank you,
Ninya
