Members and friends are warmly invited to attend the 2024 Annual General Meeting, which will be held on Tuesday 14 May at ‘The Mount Without’ (formerly the Church of St Michael on the Mount Without), St Michael’s Hill, Bristol BS2 8DT. This striking and unusual venue has been generously made available by the owner, Norman Routledge.
This AGM is an opportunity to say farewell to Simon Birch, who is stepping down as Chair after 10 years (though not severing his links with the Society altogether) and to meet his successor- Sandra Fryer has joined the Management team with a view to standing for election as the next chair.
