After the excitement of our International Women’s Day Exhibition in May, April has been a quieter month. We held our Annual General Meeting at the Scotch Corner Hotel, looking back on the year 2024-5. Another busy year with lots of activities, campaigns and fundraising, as usual. We were also delighted to welcome a new member at the meeting. The Secretary thanked all those who served as Officers on the Executive, and/or worked on our projects.
We confirmed the new executive Committee, and the programme for the coming year. This information is now available on our website. Our joint Presidents Babs Hunt and Lin Ryan will continue to be our formal Presidents for ‘official’ duties, though each month our meetings will be chaired by a different member of the club. This will reduce the workload for the Presidents, especially as they both hold other Executive posts. Babs is also serving this year as Yorkshire Regional Treasurer, alongside our member Judith Clark as joint Yorkshire Region President.
