Branch AGM 2004 and 30th Anniversary Presentations

Our AGM in May 2004 saw us celebrating the 30th anniversary of the formation of Guildford Branch. To mark the occasion, all past Chairpeople were invited back to help us celebrate. They didn't leave empty handed either; as a gesture of thanks, the Branch presented each Chairperson with an engraved glass tumbler bearing the BCS crest and Guildford Branch title. We hope they will all find something to put into it and think of us when they are enjoying their favourite refreshment!

For the record, the following past Chairpeople were present: David Reed, Martin Phyllis, Adele-Louise Carter, Bernard Jones and Shaun Lehane. The final missing Chairperson (Martin Jeffrey) was unfortunately unable to attend.
