International Turaco Society AGM - Saturday 23rd April 2022: The 2022 AGM is planned for Saturday 23rd April 2022 at 2pm at Cotswold Wildlife Park, Burford, Oxfordshire, England, OX18 4JP - details.
We currently have a vacancy on the committee which is open to any existing member if they feel they would like to help towards the running of the society. They would need to be proposed and seconded in writing by two other existing members of the ITS, together with a brief note of what they think they could do to help the ITS. If more than one person is proposed, then there would need to be an election at the AGM.
