You will see in this newsletter that the AGM will be held virtually via Zoom this time. The meeting is being held in February and I hope by then we may have some better news regarding what events we may be able to hold next year. I would be very happy to try to help anyone who would like to join the AGM meeting but is unsure of using ZOOM. It is easy to use to join in meetings and is not that hard if anyone is unsure. We will not be having a speaker this year so it will only take up an hour or so of your time.
