Thank you, Jillian.......... Welcome Liz.

Jillian Macready has been our Membership Sec for the last couple of years and we thank her for all the work she has done for us during that time. We are delighted that Liz Cutting, already known to many of us for her interest in natural history and photography, has taken over the role and we welcome her to the Committee.

The AGM will be followed by the guest speaker, members’ slides, light refreshments and the annual photo competition. Further details will be announced in The Suffolk Argus and on the Branch website.

The most recent Covid-19 restrictions on meetings make this event, in its intended form, unlikely. If further alterations to the programme must be made, they will be announced on the website and in the Spring edition of the Suffolk Argus.
