Can you Help?
All events take quite a lot of organization and as the
Association has now been in existence for almost
25 years we are keen to recruit new members to
Committees including the Social Committee to give
new ideas and different approaches to keep the
Association healthy and up to date.
If you would like to join us, then please contact
our President or Chairman.
