Birds SA were planning to hold the Annual General Meeting and General Meeting for Friday 28th August is now unfortunately CANCELLED. Unfortunately the Covid 19 restrictions have not been lifted for larger number of attendees and the meeting cannot be held, as the number of "Public" who can attend the Waite Institute Theatre's is a lot less than the Uni students and we can only have 36 members attend, so the Committee has decided to cancel the AGM and General meeting until further notice. Venue: Charles Hawker Conference Centre, Waite...
