Liveryman Andrew Ramshall was pleased and proud to receive this last week in recognition of his time at CEC and Jodrell Bank. This has been made from the original reflective surface of the Lovell Telescope and part of a tree from the arboretum.
Last evening (9 December 2024) members attended the Carol Service at St Margaret Lothbury together with the Coleman Street and Broad Street Ward Clubs. The Chaplain, Jeremy Crossley led a heartwarming service supported by the wonderful choir. We then moved to our Hall to enjoy a Christmas party with some excellent food and wine , a draw for festive fizz presented by Santa and some great trad jazz played by the Hendo Washboard Kings. As you will see from the photos, some of our members were moved to demonstrate their bopping skills with increasing enthusiasm as the evening progressed!
Maria Watkins was a very active Liveryman in the 1980-90’s and a keen supporter of Apprentices. She died in 2010 and you might like to read the following written about her in 2019 under the heading Magnificent Women (in Engineering). She also features on Wikipedia as herself and on the page for History of Women in Engineering.
