Society Treasurer
The Society is still in need of a Treasurer, the role is not onerous and does not take up a great deal of time, at the moment it is being filled by our Secretary which is not an ideal situation.
Should any member feel able to help out with this or as a committee member please contact Linda Biddle or Linda Clark to register their interest.
Their contact details are in Fieldfare.
