SPEAKERS SET….
Our Speaker Secretaries Chris and Martyn have excelled themselves with a packed and intriguing programme for 2024/25.
All meetings for 2024-2025 to be held in the Derek Randall Suite, the Long Room or Boundary’s Edge at 7.00 pm except for the meeting on 9 January which is an afternoon meeting, as agreed at the last AGM.
The proposed development of the Pavilion may necessitate some changes to meeting venues but the programme will stand.

DAVID DICKINSON
David stood down as NCLS Secretary at the 2024 AGM – following a move to Norfolk, he had found it increasingly difficult to attend Committee and Society meetings and had decided to give up the role.
He was thanked by President Bill Russell and Chairman David Beaumont for his service to the Society and presented with an engraved tankard as a mark of appreciation.
