A return to Morecambe Winter Gardens
After two highly successful and memorable meetings at Morecambe Winter Gardens, held in 2013 and 2014,
the GFS committee have arranged a return to this iconic venue for a one-day meeting to be held in August
2022.
It will be interesting to go back after 7 or 8 years to see what progress might have been made. I remember that both one-day meetings
got good support from GFS members from all points of the UK. We should have a great weekend!
GFS COMMITTEE ANNOUNCEMENT
It is with great pleasure that the Executive Committee announce a one day Convention at Morecambe to celebrate the 125th
