With pride I can say that the Committee has unanimously supported the campaign for a ‘yes’ vote in the referendum. The committee is made up of a small group of volunteers. We’re really keen to invite people to join us, so if you are interested in becoming a member, or putting in a nomination for the Committee at the AGM (to be held later this year), or by helping out in any other way, please do email us on phccig@gmail.com.
