50th Anniversary ASM photos

12th April 2022 By Mary Starkey

Some 50 members gathered together at College Court in Leicester for the first ASM weekend we have been able to hold “in person” for 3 years. There was a real sense of occasion, particularly as the Society was also celebrating its 50th Anniversary. Guest of honour was Sir Arthur’s youngest son, Christopher Russell and additionally we had members attending who had been present at the first AGM.
