We are lucky to have an excellent editor for our monthly newsletter ‘Interface’ : Caryl. She does all the hard work to keep us all informed on club matters, and might throw in the occasional joke too…
If you have any news or have written an interesting article or report on some event, please let Caryl know so she can put in the newsletter. Her email address is: caryl.grant@gmail.com
