I’m a new member: what should I expect at a meeting?

Expect to be greeted by a volunteer and asked to sign-in at the registration desk. There will be a cash bar and time for mingling with fellow members.
At some stage, we may ask you if you would like to have your photo taken for our Gallery, and/or a short video of why you became a member. This is totally voluntary.
