What a good year!

The past year had been a very successful one for the society, said our secretary Colin Pickering at the annual meeting held in Bolton-le-Sands in December.  Reflecting on the previous 12 months, he said members had enjoyed a varied and exciting programme of events and the year had culminated in the popular exhibition at Lancaster Museum.

Chairman Peter Lovett-Horn said much of the success had been down to the good work of the many volunteers and to committee members like Christina Gannon who had worked so hard to organise the excellent group of demonstrators. He hoped that more people could be recruited to enjoy the club evenings.

Treasurer, Jenni Thornley’s report revealed that the society’s finances were in good shape and she proposed that the membership fee remained the same at £25 for the coming year.

Peter, Colin and Jenni were all re-elected as was lecturer secretary, Christina Gannon.  Jill Grindey was elected vice-chairman and new member Bill McAleer agreed to be website supervisor, assisted by the chairman.

David Brookbanks and Norman Shadwell were re-elected to the committee and Kathy McAdam was elected as a new committee member.
