    Have a look through the list and see if you can add any more subjects ready for the Annual General Meeting in February.

    It would be good if we could get more member participation to give or arrange some of the presentations. You only need to prepare for about an hour or so, including any follow up discussions. You won’t have to know much to survive that. It is also likely that we will include a short topic taking about 10 minutes or so at some meetings in addition to the main topic. If we get enough of these short topics we may have a meeting dedicated entirely to them.
