Historic List of Council Members
From 2023 and conversion to CLG, officers are Board members and no longer Council members. The Officers are now President, Company Secretary and Finance Officer.
Current Board members can be seen here.
There are no records for Council membership prior to 1968, although John Barrs was President since the foundation of the Association (in 1953?).
