We are very sorry that Lord Hendy has decided to resign as a Patron. He is, amongst other roles, Chair of Network Rail and does not wish to be constrained by possible conflicts of views. We are grateful for his support and the work he has led to revamp Richmond Station.

Ian Galbraith has joined as a trustee. He is a Chartered Surveyor and currently Group Executive Board Director of Mott MacDonald, a 20,000 strong employee-0wned engineering and professional services consultancy in charge of strategy. He has lived in Richmond since 2021.

We are very grateful to volunteers Richard Baldwin who is our Membership Database manager, Patrick Gillen who has taken over as Webmaster and Sofia Gammelgard who is helping streamline office processes. They should reduce the burden on Neil Maybin who generously continued to run all these functions and provide IT admin support after stepping down as a trustee. They join Shimei Zhou who looks after our social media.
