Hope you are all enjoying a good summer break.
SLAS AGM Minutes Minutes from the March AGM are attached.
SLAS Membership standing orders
SLAS members now renew their membership each year via Blackwells, but some are still paying standing orders from their bank account direct to SLAS for their membership as well as a hangover from the past. SLAS cannot cancel these standing orders. Any members who still have a standing order to SLAS are invited to cancel it, please!
