DVD 3
We have been approached by a number members to produce a third DVD, the subject to be
Staging and exhibiting.
We have agreed to this so if there is anything you would like covered please email either Keith, Fay or myself. We can't promise to include everything suggested but will do our very best.
Time scale is hopefully for around Christmas if possible.
UPDATE
Due to problems with quality and some of the proposed content we have regretfully had to put on hold the third DVD. If the chance arises to be able to obtain the right conditions for good quality content we will resume our efforts.

and no more subscriptions till November 2018.

Please note anyone who owes 2 years subscriptions will no longer receive a yearbook or correspondence from the society.
We deeply regret this action but as you will be aware second class postage is 54p with another 3p increase in April, charges like this are terrible for a small society like ours with a low subscription rate.
We could raise our subscription but feel it is our duty to keep subscription rates as low as possible.
Have you paid your 2017 subscription? if you are not sure please contact me on 01915861141 and I will check for you.
If I am not in please leave a message and I will get back to you or you can email me at dennis.price12@btinternet.com
Thank you
