Objectives
|
|
To allow members to get together to share common interests and pursuits. To offer professional advice
through demonstrations to enable members to improve their skills and further their interests in new
techniques and equipment. To create a source of help and advice from fellow members and to help alleviate
the isolation of what can be a solitary pursuit. Membership is open to anyone on the payment of an annual fee.
