💐 The HHS Committee will be meeting this coming Monday 23rd March, 7pm at Black Buffalo. 💐
Financial/Life Members of HHS are welcome to attend the meeting and observe only.
We are needing committee members for 2026 to assist with the behind the scenes tasks for our 3 annual shows and seminar. This is imperative for the future of the Society.
If you’d like to come along and see what is involved before volunteering, we’d love to see you.

Many thanks
