New President and new Venue for 2022
Saturday 10 December 2022 3:45 pm
For our 2022 programme of talks we moved to a meeting room in the Showroom Cinema on Paternoster Row in Sheffield, close to the station and bus routes, and with easy access to refreshments and support.
In the spring we also elected a new President, Ken Smith, who retired a few years ago as Cultural Heritage Manager of the Peak District National Park Authority. We are very pleased that he agreed to join us.
