KENNETH ARTHUR, Newcastle,
At December's business meeting Paul Mounsey joined top table following his election as a trustee, taking the place vacated by David House when he became Secretary. Chris Rogers was re-elected and continues to serve as a trustee.
Paul Carless was elected to serve as an independent examiner, and will work alongside Andrew Keech who has been re-elected. Iain Anderson steps down from the position after several years of sterling work.
There are lots of new faces on Top Table:
We bid farewell to Phil Goodyer, the Immediate Past Master, Chris Ridley after 6 years as Librarian, John Hughes-D'Aeth after 7 years as Secretary and Dickon Love after 12 years as Webmaster.
Note from the retiring Webmaster. As this is my last posting to the web site after 12 years, I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to making this the useful communications tool and resource that it is. I wish Martin Cansdale all the best as he takes over the editorship, and hope he finds the job as rewarding as I have done. DICKON LOVE
A peal was rung to mark 60 years of Society membership for John Hill and 50 years for John Napper, Andrew Stubbs and David Hilling. Also rung as a tribute to the life of Jim Diserens.
