The
Exhibition is the annual showcase of the Association’s work, and is
open to everyone, free of charge. The Association’s Officers work all
year round and expend considerable time and effort on administration, while
Section Directors analyse observations, publish reports, and produce
exhibits. It is gratifying if they know that their work, and the work of
observers and other contributors, is seen and appreciated. This
year’s Exhibition will take place on Saturday 22
June 2013 10.00
am to 5.30 pm |
