VHTB - 22/05/10
The attachment, wrote by Neil Nixon gives some food for thought on some Branch issues and how you the way you take some pictures in the future could help out.
There is likely to be some restructuring within the Branch ( we guarantee no budget cuts though ) as we continue to develop new posts to reflect the extra tasks that we are doing and a re-alignment to share the jobs out. It's an ideal opportunity to get in touch if you feel you can contribute in any way.
Remember to keep sending pictures for the website to webmaster@carlislelondonbranch.org , for the home programme to Ian Jardine i.jardine@btinternet.com and as always for Hit the Bar to editor@carlislelondonbranch.org
