Carole Porter

If you have received a parcel from the Geographical Association's shop in the last decade or more, there's a fair chance that it was packaged and processed by Carole Porter. 

Carole worked at Solly Street for over 25 years as Sales Administrator having joined in 1996. If you have ever attended the GA Conference, you have probably met Carole as she worked on the GA's stand. If you've ever rung the GA HQ you may well have spoken to Carole too. I was very happy to have Carole as a colleague when I worked there.

Carole retired at Christmas 2023, and I wish her a very happy retirement.

Liz Young RIP

Via the latest Spring 2024 issue of the GA Magazine, we heard about the sad passing of Liz Young, who was heavily involved in the North Staffs Branch of the Geographical Association as well as working as a Senior Lecturer at Staffordshire University. Condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.
