Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the Society regrets not to be able to host our traditional autumn colloquium. Members are able to participate in a digital meeting on 14 November 2020, following the Society's AGM at 15.00 that day. If any member has not received information about this digital gathering, they should alert the Society's Secretary and ask for details via e-mail.
We hope to resume normal meeting activities in 2021!
