GA Centenary - mystery images

Another few images supplied by Richard Daugherty from the GA Centenary celebration in 1993.

Help required to identify...

The lady with Richard at the dinner.

The lady on the left sat on the bench with Sheila Jones, Richard and Pat Cleverley... three Presidents.

I think it may be a member of staff at Fulwood Road (at the time)...

Swansea Presidents

Richard Daugherty has provided a great deal of information on the more recent history of the GA.

Richard was GA President in 1989.

He recently sent me a few pictures that he found from the GA's Centenary event in 1993, which was held at the University of Oxford in the year when Andrew Goudie was President.

This one features four Presidents with a Swansea connection...

Bonus points if you can name (any of) them. I shall add their names in a few days' time...

From the archive - letter to a Princess

I hope to perhaps get up to Sheffield for a root around in the GA archives at some point during the summer as I did last summer. I took some pictures, and not sure I've shared them all yet, so there follows some posts with images of some findings.

This one features the letter from Simon Catling inviting the Princess Royal to be the patron of the GA during its Centenary year - an invitation she accepted, and she came along to the conference that year. See other posts for pictures from that event.

From the archive: GA Centenary Dinner, 1993

The GA Centenary Dinner was held in 1993 at Keble College, Oxford. Once again, some familiar faces.

How many can you recognise?

1993: Centenary Badges

There was apparently a competition to design a badge for the GA's Centenary and here is the winning design from the front page of GA News at the time, in 1993.

From the archive: Centenary Celebrations 1993

I visited the GA Archive in Solly Street two weeks ago.

I came across some pictures from the GA's Centenary celebrations.

There were some of the Centenary dinner held at Keble College, Oxford and others of the visit by Princess Anne. 

Here's a few of the GA Council meeting in November 1993 when the centenary was celebrated, along with a special cake.



There are some familiar faces here, including the President at the time: Andrew Goudie with the cake.

If anyone spots someone in particular, please get in touch.
