A Memorable Day
Thanks to magnificent teamwork within York IA, the afternoon of Saturday 1st May, 1993 was a very happy occasion. Immediately at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, our new President and Chairman, Mr David Hopton asked members and guests to remain seated in the lecture room of the Post Graduate Centre at York District Hospital as there was further 'business' - albeit of a different nature - to be conducted.
Mrs. Joyce Gallon, the Hon. Secretary of York IA from its inception until her move to Wales in 1987 had come to York a few days earlier with her husband, Lindsay, so that she could attend this special meeting.
The committee had felt it right that Joyce, more than anyone, should be asked to present Mr. Matheson with retirement gifts from the Division.
