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.
