Our thanks to Tony Kirby for his fascinating talk on the History of Anglia Ruskin University which around 35 people enjoyed in the Mill Road Baptist Centre last night.

After the talk the attendees agreed the constitution for the society and elected the first set of officers. If anyone else would like to join the committee and help shape the society then please contact us.
