SFAS - Report by the Committee for the year 2025
The Chairman (P. Sorowka), Vice Chairman (R. Meikle) and E. Patterson organised the outings and talks, and are pleased to notice that membership has stabilised at 23. Digs at Bannockburn House attracted volunteers but only one new member – but a significant addition because his expertise has created our new website, as described in the opening remarks, which will, it is hoped, increase awareness of our activities and attract new members.
