AGM
The AGM was held last Wed (16 April) at the Doric Tavern, Edinburgh. The meeting was well attended and we hope this sets a trend for events organised for the rest of the year.

Mikko Ramstedt was confirmed as our new Chairman of the SFS, and Marita Davies will continue on the committee. We would like to welcome Satu Auno as a new committee member, and thank Stig Suominen for his long term (30 year) contribution to the society.

Minutes from the meeting will available shortly, and will be distributed by email.
