NOTICES

1. New members

A warm welcome to new primary members Katherine Taylor and Ralph Desmarais.

2. Formal notice of LDWA London Group’s Annual General Meeting for 2026

Wednesday 25th February: we have booked the upstairs private room at The Chapel Market Tavern, 58 Penton St, London N1 9PZ. 

This is the same venue that we used in February 2025. It's a short walk along Chapel Market from Angel tube station.

We invite members to arrive from 6.30 for a 7 p.m. start.

Drinks may be purchased from the bar downstairs and brought up to the meeting room.

If a member wishes to submit a motion to the meeting, please send it to london@ldwa.org.uk for the attention of Lonica Vanclay and Gordon Parker (Joint Secretaries) before midnight on Sunday 25th January. Please include the names of the Proposer and Seconder, who must be Primary Members of the London Group.

Also at the AGM, the posts of Chair and Treasurer fall vacant, the current holders of these posts having completed their constitutional time in office. As a result we need volunteers to replace them. 

If you think you'd be able to contribute in either of these roles we'd be delighted to hear from you. If you want to know what the jobs of each entail, please feel free to contact our current chair Gavin Fuller or our current Treasurer Jim Robinson - depending on which post you are interested in - or speak to them on a social walk.

Nominations for these posts should be sent to the Joint Secretaries before midnight on Sunday 25th January. A nomination shall include the names of the Proposer and Seconder, who must be Primary Members of the group, and the Nominee’s agreement to stand.

An agenda and minutes of the last AGM, held in February 2025, will be made available on the website during December - members will be notified of this via the Newsletter. Other documentation including details of any motions will be posted on the website during the week beginning 8th February, again with an announcement in the Newsletter.

Food is available for purchase in the downstairs bar at The Chapel Market Tavern and some of us enjoyed a meal together after last year's meeting so you may want to consider joining us.
