| Annual
General Meeting The 2019 AGM will be held in London in the Autumn. Members with ideas for the future of the Society are welcome to attend, bring some items from their collections to share, and to put forward motions for debate. The membership subscription rates will need to be considered owing to various factors, including increases in postal rates from the UK and movements in foreign exchange rates. |
