Next Year’s PPS AGM – Communication from the Secretary

Hello PPS Members,

This is to confirm that next year’s AGM will be held on Saturday March 9th, 2024 – 10.00 a.m.- and we will again be staying at the Delta Hotel Warwick. I am currently discussing details with the hotel.

Without making a final commitment, it would be useful if members could let me know by Wednesday, November 15th, 2023 whether they expect to attend.

Also, to assist in making arrangements, if you know that you won’t be going it would similarly be useful if you could let me know.

Any queries, just get in touch.
