  • Newsletter 94 Late Spring 2015
    NEWSLETTER 94 LATE SPRING 2015 NEWSLETTER 94 LATE SPRING 2015 EDITORIAL We have reached the end of another lecture series and the last to be held at Claremont, the home of YAS since 1968. I’m sure many of us will be sad to leave the familiar surroundings of the building in spite of its lack of heat in the winter months. We look forward now to lectures in 2015-16 in the nearby Swarthmore Education Centre starting on 24 October where I am sure we will be comfortably accommodated. Dates and details of the programme are given later in the Newsletter and thanks to Jane Ellis for organising another interesting programme The Society survived its move many years ago from Park Place to Claremont and I am confident it will do so again. At the AGM held on 18 April, the previous officers were re-elected unopposed and their contact details are given at the end of the Newsletter. I presented the Annual Report for the Section and it was noted that due to a lack of information from the previous YAS Treasurer concerning paid up YAS + Industrial History Section members which has now been resolved, it appeared that we had less of these members than we had realised. Due to great efforts by the new Finance team, there is now greater clarity but less members and therefore less income. However it was good to note that section expenses had decreased as a result of less expenditure for the lecture programme and savings on postage by using the franking machine at Claremont.
