Cate Cox, who has served on the Committee since 2021, was unable to be present at the AGM. Cate was nominated as a Committee member for 2025/26 however she has since moved back to Melbourne but promises to visit us when she can.
I would personally like to thank Cate for her hard work with the Society for the last five years, particularly in regard to the Society newsletter and her assistance with cataloguing. I am sure we all wish Cate well in her future endeavours.
