Ipswich [IPS]
We regret that following a vote by members present at our scheduled branch meeting on April 14th the Ipswich Branch is now closed. All future meetings and attendances at outside events are also cancelled. This was not a decision that was taken lightly but the lack of volunteers willing to take over the running of the branch and personal circumstances of some of the current branch committee have forced us to bring this forward from the planned closure in October.
We would like to thank everyone who has supported us since the formation of the branch in 1981 and have estimated we have had over 400 meetings at different venues during that period. We hope that members will continue their support for the society.
Our best wishes to you all.
