Evening Meeting on Thursday 19th March CANCELLED

After much deliberation regretfully it has been decided to cancel Thursday's meeting: "The Pumphreys".

This will come as a disappointment, for which we are sorry, but given the demographic of the Society's membership this was considered the best course of action.
