The association has 10 meetings a year which are held on the first Monday of the months from August to May. The meetings are the life blood of our association and deal with the running of the association as well as any problems any of our members may have. They are informal but get the business of the association done. Committee members meet before each monthly meeting to discuss any points of interest from the previous meeting. One of the meetings each year takes the format of a one day course. This is a chance for the members to refreshen up on some relevant points which the IFA may think need to be addressed. Our meetings are attended by a 1/3 of members and this is a problem that we are looking into so if you think that you have anything that would increase our attendance then please let us know.
