Annual General Meeting Thursday 24 June 2010

The Octagon Room in St Peter's Church was packed for the Society's AGM - standing room only!  John Thomson was elected as the new Chair, and four new trustees were elected to the Committee.  Many stayed to enjoy a drink and the discussion continued until nearly 10pm!  A successful summer evening.

Events

Throughout the year we offer a range of events for members and non-members.  These include regular speaker evenings covering topical interests – for example, in our last “season”, we included  subjects varying from preserving the green belt to youth interests in St. Albans.  The full diary for 2010/11 events will be published in the Autumn.

There is an Annual General Meeting (usually held in May / June)  when all members are invited to give their views on past and future happenings in our city.
 
Perhaps the highlight of the year is our Awards Evening to celebrate best practice in current architecture and design – for both buildings and our green spaces.   This is held at the Maltings Arts Theatre, with wine and canapés.
 
Additionally we participate in the St Albans Residents First Weekend and Heritage Open Days, and arrange visits to other interesting and historic towns.
