Chairman Valrie Ellis.National Chairman, Valrie Ellis, presided over the AGM.  During the informal discussion session which followed many interesting ideas were raised.

One of these was the notion of creating an IAC archive of material which might otherwise be lost.  Later in the day Mike Coad volunteered to oversee such a collection.  Anyone with memorabilia, papers, magazines, films, photographs equipment etc. which might be relevant should contact Mike c/o the IAC Office.
