AGM 2020 and Model Competitions
The AGM for 2020 was held online, using Zoom, on Saturday 19th September at 11am UK time.
Update to the AGM documents emailed to members: the financial figures were an earlier draft, not the final version. This link contains the correct, final, version of the figures.
The minutes of the AGM have been published in the "members only" part of the website.
