Welcome to the 135th year of the Association. Our programme for 2017/18 again covers a wide spectrum of interest . We have kept the subscription at £25 and comparing the price of hearing our excellent speakers with theatre, cinema and concert tickets or football admission, I believe we have an excellent bargain. We hope very much you will renew your membership. Please do tell us if you can recommend future speakers.
I an honoured to be your new president. May I tell you a little about myself? Born and brought up in Darlington, I studied for three years in London at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. My career teaching speech and English was first in Nottingham and then Darlington; in 1989 I began 20 years of teaching speech and drama privately. For 30 years I was speech and drama secretary of Darlington Festival for the Performing Arts.
Membership of the Lecture Association was interrupted by evening work but after retirement seven years ago I re-joined and came on the committee when an appeal was made . I am looking forward to meeting you at lectures and at the President’s Evening in October.
