Our AGM took place on Thursday 17th April 2025 followed by a lecture by our president-elect Dr Affifa Farrukh. We were trying a new venue, namely Nuffield Hospital on Scraptoft Lane LE5 1HY and were pleased to have a good turn-out for the occasion. Sadly, Nuffield Hospital is no longer available as a venue so future meetings will be at the offices of Shakespeare Martineau at Colton Square in Leicester. Please read the flyer for each meeting carefully for full details of the venue and timings. We very much look forward to seeing you at our meetings.
