The BAHVS held its Annual Conference in Leeds, during the last weekend in June (or the first in July, depending upon the way you look at it). It was full of energy, wisdom, insight and conviviality. The speakers were magnificent and inspiring. The organisers did a wonderful job. Thanks!

It was a poignant moment for me, as I retired as Hon. Sec., after 25 years. I thank the membership of the BAHVS for my retirement gift - I shall have fun working out how to spend the book tokens! Special thanks to Francis Hunter, who presented it to me.
