Volunteering
The Society relies heavily on its volunteers to keep it an active and
viable organisation. Any member who has time or skills to contribute
is most welcome and greatly appreciated. To establish a clear basis
for using volunteers the Council has created two documents which describe the
responsibilities of both parties.
