NOTICE:
I’m sorry to say that due to the latest Government recommendations of avoiding all unnecessary social contact we can no longer gather for meetings as usual.
We will be able to bring future meetings to SIGMA and affiliated members online via Zoom Webinars. This will continue until restrictions are lifted.

Due to an amazing effort by the committee and other members we had our first successful online monthly meeting on Friday 3rd April.

We plan to continue to hold our meetings like this until we are allowed to gather as normal once again.
