A most excellent meeting was held on Sunday, good attendance, all posts filled, and a new constitution. Thank you to all who turned up, all members will get sent the new document, and if we are happy, it becomes law! We have some new photos for sale, thanks to Tony Belcher, of various trams at the terminus of Dyke Road, nice shots, they are selling already. As mentioned, we now have a full committee, so expect to see some very positive changes, and a slicker society, over and out!
