The Annual General Meeting took place on Saturday 27th June 2026 at the Quaker Meeting Hall in Liverpool. Thanks to Jim for the organisation of the event and to those who travelled to Liverpool.
At the meeting David Cole stood down from his role as Chairman. There were no nominations so the post is vacant. Roger Pester also stood down as Treasurer after 26 years and the post has been filled by Jim McIntosh.
We also welcomed Eddie Muraszko as Secretary. The post of Publicity Officer remains vacant.
