As a token of the RSC's esteem for its most loyal members, it has produced a set of special-edition membership pins. Local section members who have been RSC members for 40 or more years are invited to attend a presentation ceremony and lecture at the University of Manchester. Light refreshments will be provided.
Although the event is now fully booked, members may contact the Secretary with a postal address and RSC membership number to receive their badge by post.
