NOTE: RE HORIZONS MEETINGS IN 2024
At our Committee meeting in August 2023, your Committee voted in favour of waiving the annual suspension of Horizons meetings in the month of August, beginning in August 2024.
Our Speaker Secretary will therefore provide a programme for the whole of the year at future Horizons. Your Committee hope that this decision will prove popular to those members who do not holiday in what has traditionally been considered “the peak holiday month” of the year.
