In the morning, the Society held its AGM which was followed by an excdellent lunch.

The in the afternoon, as always we were delighted to welcome, Philip Warren, Resources and Collections Manager at Snibston Discovery Park in Leicestershire, once more into our midst.

Philip presented his lecture,  'Support and Seduction: The Story of Underwear',  a fascinating look at ladies underwear through the centuries, beautifully illustrated with slides from a Powerpoint presentation.  This stimulated members into much discussion and a number of questions for Philip.

This meeting was held in a new venue for us and was popular being conveniently situated not far fom Junction 39 of the M1, and with ample parking and good disabled access, being all on the level.  We plan to use it again.
