TIRRA Update

TIRRA. Have no fear we are still here! 

The TIRRA Board or what little remains of it is working hard to establish a direct deposit banking system to handle membership fees. It seems to be hung up at the moment which has created a delay in the planning of the annual AGM. 

Please keep your eye open for the membership drive coming soon and an Annual General Meeting to follow. 

You will need membership to vote on such important issues as executive positions and any motions that may come forward. 

AND YES , we need you to come forward and volunteer now please.
