The Chair’s report referred to the progress the station made over the past year and made the point that the pandemic had arrived in the last three months of the financial accounting period. The contribution of volunteers was acknowledged as being instrumental to the success of the station and especially so during the early stages of the pandemic. To view this report, click here.
