August 2007, Chapter 72 Meeting

The AGM was held and a new committee appointed. Lindsay Bramall is our new President. A warm vote of thanks was given to Carl Sona, the outgoing President, for his leadership in many areas leading to better experiences for members. The talk series included a dissertation by Joy Percival on Frederic Japy and the successes of the Japy Freres in French clockmaking. Lindsay Bramall, Noel Lipscombe, Michael Smith, Richard Fawdry, Carl Sona and John Garske covered the field of watches in a series of excellent presentations. The Mart, a raffle and hot tea made it a very full afternoon.

Our new committee. Most were returned from the last election, and Lindsay Bramall is the new President. We all thank Carl Sona for his leadership as the former President.
