Notification of the joining details will be sent by email a couple of days beforehand. The AGM will be held on Thursday 17 th February at 7.30pm. We plan to hold this in Emsworth Community Centre. We will request attendees follow government advice about meeting in an enclosed space. Unfortunately we will not be able to offer the usual refreshments after the meeting. Papers pertaining to the meeting and confirmation of the meeting details will be sent out by email a few days before the meeting. Our plans beyond this are a bit vague as we are waiting to see how the Covid situation develops, but we have in mind coach trips, garden visits and in-person talks. More details as we firm up on ideas. Lyn Davies and Colin Beale (Co-chairs) ehschair@outlook.com
