This was the first meeting of 2019 for the Trust and I was
once again invited to attend in my role as Master. Under the expert
chairmanship of Past Master Roger North, we had a full agenda and there was a
lot to discuss. It was pleasing to note that a number of applications for
funding for our partner schools were approved as was the continuation of the University
Bursary programme. The Trust has a very
impressive list of Universities that it supports and the requirement for
funding has never been greater.
Indeed, it was a real pleasure to be able to recognise some
of the work that these students achieve via our Dissertation Prize. At the
recent Myddelton Lunch (see Blog No 73) I was able to reward two students (from
Birmingham and Queen Mary) for their hard work. We look forward to many more in
the future.
We also spent time working on the next strategic plan for
the Trust that will inform and shape the direction of travel for the next five
years. An important and vital document to ensure the continued success of this
very valuable charity.
The Trust has met at the office of IES for a number of years
but due to their office relocation we have to find a new home. This is in hand
and our thanks go to IES for all their hospitality and assistance and we wish
them every success at their new location.
