Four NSA members have each received a £50 cheque from the Association under the new bursary scheme to encourage traveling to ‘away’ events, in this case for racing in the Northerns at Windermere. The bursary was agreed at the 2011 AGM and is available to travelling Sonatas. Full details in the 2011 Minutes in the Association Matters forum (this forum is available to current NSA Members only).
