Dear Members,
Welcome to the 2023-24 season of the Darlington Lecture Association – our 141st year! Wow! That’s even older than any of our members or committee.
When my grandparents and their many siblings, growing up in Darlington in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, referred in their letters to attending lectures in the town I have often wondered if they were members of our association. It would be nice to think so.
I am very much looking forward to being your president again for the coming season, and what a programme Margaret has put together for us! We will be whisked off to Costa Rica and China, back to Anglo-Saxon times and the Middle Ages and off again to the Royal Opera House.
So please come along – and bring your friends and relations. Tell the whole world about us – well, Darlington and district anyway.
Wendy E Acres
President
