President’s blog October 2024
Welcome everyone to the start of 2024/25 lecture series and social programme. Thank you to all those who attended my Inaugural Presidential Address on 8th October. Your friendly faces made my task much less daunting.
Our next speaker on 23rd October is Professor Emily Jackson. Her presentation about assisted dying is timely and topical. Members of Derby Law Society have been invited too.
Regarding the social calendar, the next event is a walk round Calke. It’s on Friday November 1st at 10.30.
Please meet at Ticknall Village Hall Car Park – free. Overspill is on the road outside. No need to book – just turn up.

Family, friends, dogs all welcome.
Please bring a snack or lunch or avail yourself of the café facilities at Calke on the way round.
Toilets at the village hall and Calke itself. You don’t need to be a National Trust Member.
The walk will be 8km mostly on flat paths a little uphill and maybe some mud!- I anticipate 2 and half hours.I will also post on the WhatsApp group.

I want to take the opportunity to thank Ola our new administrator for the year, who is already doing a great job.
And to our student reps; Hannah, Yasmin and Tish for their support.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the next meetings.
