SUBSCRIPTIONS
A few people have not, as yet, remembered this year's subscription (due October 2006) £5 each or £8 per family; if yours is still overdue please either pay at the Spring Show (or when you enter) or pay direct to our Treasurer, Mrs. Shirley Dodds at 13, Hayes Lane.
If you are one of those few who haven't paid subscription for several years and do not do so this year, we will regretfully assume that you no longer wish to be a member of our society and will no longer send you newsletters in future. If you still would like news, contact Shirley, George or David. Non-members can still come to meetings and enter shows but it costs more to do so!
