Not only, but also

Those of us who were at last year’s (2022) AGM would have heard that our illustrious Margaret Hall stood down after thirty-five years as Chairman of the Charitable Trust.

Her calm, efficient guiding hands have enabled the Trust to help hundreds of design students. We all raised our glasses, cheered, clapped and hats and canes were thrown in the air as she was presented with a beautiful pair of bookends expertly designed and carved by Carol Kemp.

We also said farewell to our Honorary Treasurer Stephen Brough whose sterling (literally) work has kept our reserves healthy and balanced. Stephen’s involvement did not stop at the finances as he was heavily involved with the quiz evenings and was a wonderful supplier of books to the Christmas raffle.

Unfortunately Stephen wasn’t at the AGM but rest assured an equally splendid pair of bookends will be presented when we all next meet.
