Notice of Meeting: AGM Wednesday 24th May

The West of Scotland AGM will be held on Wednesday 24th May, at a time (evening) and venue to be confirmed. We'll be going over business matters, incl treasurer's report, etc. We'll also be discussing ideas for next season's meetings. The AGM is open to any members of the WoSPG, as are the positions of chair, treasurer and secretary.

This year, to make things more pleasant for the long-suffering office-bearers, we will be holding the meeting somewhere nice, like a pub or a restaurant in Glasgow. If you intend coming please let me know by e-mail by the end of April, so that I can book somewhere according to numbers.

Otherwise, we are always open to any ideas for future talks, or different venues or times. Even if you can't make the AGM, please e-mail suggestions to me.

Regards

Lars Williams
