President’s Address

Well, here I am for what I hope will be a good year.

We have a full programme already and will be celebrating our 80th Anniversary in party style both at the House of Lords and in the Mayoral Parlour, and just for good measure—well you have all read that “we should be doing something” —so you will, with my charity— The War Memorials Trust and I hope that you will enjoy doing it, but not to the detriment of our other causes.
