WESLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
2022
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The
arrangements for the AGM have had to be changed. It had been arranged to
hold the meeting as part of the proposed two day Residential Conference at
Bristol on the 17th and 18th of June. Regrettably this
has now had to be reduced to a one day conference only.
Therefore
the AGM will now be a Zoom meeting at 2.00pm on Thursday 7th
July. As with last year, members wishing to join should email
distribution@wesleyhistoricalsociety.org.uk
not later than Friday 1st
July so that the Zoom invitation, agenda, and papers may be sent.
