As usual, the Society AGM preceded the summer gathering in June. Our Chair, Barbara Field-Holmes reported on a mixed year, in which we lost a number of dear friends, including our President Victoria Wood, who died far too young. Despite the sadness, Barbara was able to highlight many positive aspects of the year: the reinstatement of the Autumn lunch, Sir Tim Rice’s appearance at the 2015 Christmas tea, the introduction of a new in-house competition, the continued hard work of Council members and the activity of the regional groups.
Other recent good news includes the announcement that Sylvia Kent (in the photo) has joined our list of Vice Presidents, a role that Sylvia says, “I am honoured to accept”. Sylvia is our Archivist and provides The Woman Writer with her regular column, answers many questions from members and non-members about past and present SWWJ members, and does an excellent job promoting the Society through social media, her frequent radio appearances and other journalistic work.
