2020 and 2021 AGMs

G4EAN writes - The COVID-19 situation meant we were unable to hold an AGM in 2020 and things do not look much better for an AGM in 2021.
I will be discussing AGM arrangements with the committee. I suspect we will hold the AGM via mailshots to all our members.

RAILWAYS ON THE AIR 2020 and 2021

If you participated in the 2020 ROTA event then our Editor would welcome a report from you (it is not too late) for publication in our newsletter.
Details of Railways On The Air are on the BARAC web site which (as at 4th January) says that "Our plan for 2021 is to run it on 25th and 26th  September". We wish them well and we hope that their plans come to fruition.

SPRING MEETING 2020 and 2021

G4EAN writes - Geoff G4GNQ (our President) and Coral (our Editor)  decided that, because of the ongoing situation with COVID-19, there would not be a Spring Meeting in 2020.  Although no decision has been made about a Spring meeting this year I personally doubt that we will run one.
