subscriptions would be £0 for the year 2024/25
i.e. subscriptions that fall due in September 2024.

FUTURE OF THE ASSOCIATION
The future of the Association was discussed at the AGM and it was agreed that, as the membership and Committee ages, it is going to become more difficult to run the Association, particularly in its current format.
The Committee is exploring several ideas, raised at the AGM and subsequent Committee meetings, which, we hope, will provide the Association with a future for a number of years yet, albeit in a different format.
More information to follow.
