This function was held at Kew Golf Club on November 24th 2015. There were 62 members and partners present and the CEO, Prof. Christine Kilpatrick, was an invited guest.
A relaxed dinner was followed by a brilliant and highly amusing presentation by the incoming President, Dr Kevin Collins, introduced by the outgoing President Prof. Andrew Kemp.
The mock-serious title to which Kevin spoke, “French advertisements and public signs – a window on the national soul?” was illustrated with a hilarious collection of photographs that showed the contrast between the absurdities and sublime aspects of French culture.
