This year saw this House pass unanimously a motion recognising that our planet faces a climate emergency. While there are still many people who would deny this fact, it is true to say that none sit in this House. I congratulate the Minister for showing leadership in bringing the motion and Government as a whole for seeing the 10 wisdom of accepting a minor amendment which would allow its unanimous passage. There is no doubt that all of us seated here understand the urgency of the global crisis being faced and appreciate the need for urgency and continued unanimity in mapping out our community’s future.

  • Annual Report 2016
    CHAIRMAn’S foreword As another Heritage year comes to a close, we stop a moment to take stock of the work that has gone on, mainly unseen and in the background and which you will find summarised in the following pages. I would like extend my thanks to my fellow Trustees for their work and invaluable support during my period as Chairman. Most especially, I would like to thank Claire Montado, our CEO and our small team at the Main Guard who ensure that all the cogs are oiled and the wheels keep turning. Claire is taking a short break for the best of reasons - a new baby! We welcome Tasmin Griffith to the team, recruited as Executive Personal Assistant, who will help us to keep things ticking over during Claire’s maternity leave. My thanks also to all our volunteers who give up their free time to help us in our shop, run craft classes for our children, lend muscle when we need things moved and brains in helping with our archive and ever-growing library. I would also like to commend those who have helped deliver our membership programme of events; those stalwart folks who will come out, usually on a Saturday morning to host our historic walks, or run with our Tuesday evening presentations and historic talks. We couldn’t do without these dedicated folk. As always, we have much to do - please continue to support us with your continued membership and participation. Don’t forget to keep us updated with your current email address, as this is essential if you want to keep up with our latest news.
