There were not enough members in attendance at the November meeting to hold elections, so they were postponed until the January meeting. All positions are open for nomination, however some incumbents may choose to remain in their present positions. At the time of writing there is a vacancy for Treasurer and Director of Education and Promotions.

Please make an effort to attend, as the club is only as strong as it’s members. We need your support to keep going.
