Delighted to have got the programme off the ground with the first induction session last night.
The recording is available here.
Apologies to those who were unable to join due to a technical difficulty.Yann – thank you. This is a closed Forum, so I have no problem with names being brought forward here.
On the general question of nominations, I will be compiling the nominations that have been made to date for circulation and approval by Council members. We have nominations for College Medal, President’s Award, President’s Commendation, and maybe for Hon Fellowship too.
