David Mason takes over as Society President

Our photograph shows Brian Smith (left) in the act of handing over, to David, the book of Alfred Munnings paintings that has traditionally been in the safe-keeping of the Society’s President, and has been signed by each of them in succession.

The AGM was followed by the Essex Supper, which was its usual very enjoyable affair. David Mason thanked John Rankin for organising the event, and then gave a short but excellent address and proposed the toast to the School, to which Mark Robinson (Senior Master) responded.
