  • 40 YEARS of the WEST LONDON LOCAL HISTORY CONFERENCE
    40 YEARS of THE WEST LONDON LOCAL HISTORY 1981 CONFERENCE 2020 WE ARE PROUD to have run thirty-nine annual West London Local History Conferences; this souvenir marks the fortieth in November 2020 and not only records the themes and speakers but also celebrates the fact that the sponsoring societies have sustained the conference effectively. Reviewing the programmes of talks confirms both the quality and the quantity of local history research that has been going on in our area over 40 years. Furthermore, at each conference our societies’ bookstalls have offered publications which have improved from the typed and duplicated information sheets of the early 1980s to beautifully designed and commercially successful books. THE FIRST CONFERENCE, in September 1981, was promoted by Jeanne Stoddard of the Fulham & Hammersmith Local History Society. She persuaded neighbouring societies to get involved and share any financial loss; in fact the conference made a profit of £62.10. She invited historian Prof David Reeder to chair it, a role he took for almost every conference until 1998. A 40 YEAR SOUVENIR By 1983 the consortium of societies covered Barnes & Mortlake, Brentford & Chiswick, Fulham & Hammersmith, Hounslow, Richmond, Twickenham and Wandsworth. The Shepherds Bush History Group was involved from 1984 to 2009, Acton joined in 1988, the West Middlesex Family History Society in 1992 and the Little Ealing History Group in 2016. At first a different society acted as host each year, finding an easily accessible local venue and organising refreshments. The societies continue to be responsible for selling tickets to their members. The cost was £2 a head at the beginning and for some years tickets bought on the day cost more than those bought in advance – this was eventually abandoned as too confusing! No society wished to host the 1985 conference but Brentford & Chiswick took it on at the new Waterman’s Arts Centre, returning there in 1986.

  • Annual Fund 2011
    Annual Fund 2011 Donors’ Report Kingston University’s Annual Fund has now completed its fourth year of raising vital funds to support students and enhance learning facilities. The fund’s remit of improving the student experience is clearly being fulfilled. However, a student’s time at university is only one part of the story. What happens when a student completes their studies is just as important. With the rising cost of a university education, our students need to know that their degree will count when they venture out into the wider world. Recent research, published in the Times Higher Education and which analysed the ‘added value’ of a university education, shows Kingston to be amongst the best institutions in the country when it comes to graduate salaries; a Kingston education certainly counts. You, our alumni, are proving the value of a Kingston education by your successes and your generous donations. This year you have generously given over £91,000 in gifts and pledges, allowing us to provide life-changing scholarships for postgraduate studies, helping students who have encountered unforeseen financial difficulties, and supporting projects that are enhancing the student experience. The fact that the students who have benefited from your generosity can look forward to bright futures is a testament to both our reputation as a fine institution, and to those alumni who continually, despite the troubled economic climate, give to the Annual Fund. A huge thank you to you all! Professor Julius Weinberg Message from the Vice-Chancellor Message from the Through postgraduate scholarships, we are able to attract outstanding individuals to study at Kingston University.
