National Executive Meetings
The following records have been provided by the National Secretary for publication on the website. Note that the Treasurers report has been truncated to remove all figures, for security reasons – copies of the original report can be supplied to current financial members on request. Only the last two years’ worth of Minutes are saved here. Earlier dates can be received on application to the National Secretary.
