The Club’s AGM was cancelled this year due to COVID-19 – an event where our Members would have said thanks to the outgoing President Katherine Clark, celebrated all of our achievements in the year just gone and welcomed in the new Club Year. We were however able to deliver Kat’s thank you gift to her and she is pictured here holding the picture – staying safe and well in her own home.<\/p>\n

The Club’s Officers for the year are on this page www.sigbi.org\/st-albans\/about-our-club\/club-officers <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Club’s main focus for the year is to support one another and the causes close to the Club’s heart.\u00a0 The support of friends is vital in ensuring that we can all come through this crisis mentally healthy as well as physically strong. Many of the charities we support are struggling financially and many are also extra busy helping victims from the increase in domestic abuse during the crisis so they need our help now more than ever. There is more info about charities supported by the Club on this webpage www.sigbi.org\/st-albans\/projects\/charities<\/a><\/strong> In this time of crisis it appears that the Club and it’s Members naturally took this supportive course of action.<\/p>\n
