The Romney Society Annual General Meeting will be held on:
​Friday 5th April 2019 starting at 11:00 at the Crooklands Hotel, Milnthorpe, LA7 7NW

​Following the AGM, Dr. Pieter van der Merwe, retired curator of the Royal Maritime Museums, Greenwich, will speak on ‘18th Century Naval Battles and Great Admirals’.

After a partial rehang was completed in the Romney Room at Abbot Hall, the Society was invited to discuss closer cooperation with Abbot Hall. A first, very fruitful meeting was held where the Society spoke of our need to attract more people to our lecture series. It was agreed that we should design a template for a poster for each lecture, preferably with an illustration on it. Abbot Hall will try to find wall space in the cafe for each poster, one at a time. In addition they would try to make their 200 volunteer invigilators aware of our programme. They are considering putting our programme on their website.
