As many of you are aware our Chairman, Rob Brooks suffered a serious heart attack on the 18 January and he remains seriously ill in hospital. Our thoughts and prayers are with Anne, Susannah and Paul at this very difficult time for them all,, and we wish Rob a speedy recovery.
As a result of Rob’s illness we have had to postpone some of the events we had planned for this year, although I am pleased to say that the talks will go ahead and you will see that we have arranged some excellent speakers on a variety of subjects.
Rob wrote two of the articles in this newsletter, ‘The Desecration of Essex’ and the ‘Tithe Commutation Awards’.
I look forward to seeing you at the meeting on the 13th when I hope I will be able to give you more news.
