which reports from the Sections and Branches are published,
together with the address of the President, and a collection of

courses on various subjects. For details of those

charges, go to courses.
Early every June the Association holds a three-day Annual Conference open to all

addition to local visits and excursions, an annual dinner and the
AGM, there is a lively programme of presentations, a public lecture
and the formal installation of the honorary president, who then
addresses the Association
