Ambulances to Ukraine
On 25 March Jonathan Callaway gave society members an update on his volunteer work with Medical Life Lines Ukraine. You can view the presentation here:
Ron Elam collection of Local Yesterdays.
Many will remember the stall on Bellevue Parade where Ron Elam used to be on a Saturday selling items from his mass of historic postcards of South London views. This unique and irreplaceable collection was recently auctioned. We were concerned that if the collection was broken up the loss to our knowledge of the heritage of the area would be lost. Therefore, in collaboration with the Friends of Wandsworth Common, we have jointly acquired 897 postcards.
There’s a fair amount of work involved in just sifting through the 8 albums. Details of how to view them, for anyone who wants to see them now, and what to do with them all need to be resolved in the near future. The proposal is to ensure that these are held for public access.
2023 AGM
The the Chairman’s address and the minutes of the Society’s AGM which took place on 9 March are posted here:
November Meeting – 50 years of the Society
The 11 November meeting reviewed the work and play of the Wandsworth Society over 50 years, from objections to the “motorway box” in 1971 and cyclostyled newsletters through to today’s objections to tall buildings and meetings and visits on zoom throughout the pandemic.
