FROM OUR 'INCOMING' PRESIDENT: Anthony J Wills
It is with great pleasure and honour that I shall be taking over as the Society President in September. Recently, whilst studying the Presidents’ board in Foundation dining room, I was struck by the fact that many Presidents have no doubt been a hard act for their successors to follow. Don Williams is no exception to this, both for his enthusiasm and for his innovative ideas in organising a range of social events. Since leaving St Bees my working life has been fairly varied – from banking to farming to horticulture. In this last discipline I spent twenty years lecturing at Newton Rigg College, which latterly became part of the University of Central Lancashire. Following retirement I have spent my time running a small property company, involving myself with St Bees and boating. I look forward to meeting as many members of the Society as possible over the next two years. Anthony Wills.
